ENGLAND - Boats at Portland Bill, Dorset
Can't get much further south than this in the centre of England. The waves rip round the lighthouse..... that's what I like to watch.... and one day maybe paint.

ROME - Forum
Whew! That was labour intensive. That's the Colosseum at the top of the hill - those Romans knew how to sort out the drainage and keep the grass (or whatever) in the Arena dry. They weren't bad at columns, arches, statues and thingies... and they sorted those barbarians out.
Addendum (12.10pm):
I've now found my copy of The Life of Brian and Reg confirmed that the Romans sorted the following: the aqueducts, sanitation, the roads, irrigation, Medicine, Education, Health, wine, Public baths, made the streets safe to walk, kept order, the freshwater system and peace. Since our visit I would like to add that the Romans also gave us the Pantheon.

VENICE - San Salute
I drew the one on the left on my PC with the mouse before I went to Venice (from my imagination). The one on the right is from a photo on my return from the most picturesque place I've ever been to..... by a long way!

Self-Portrait in profiterole sauce
My favourite dessert after the dessert... extreme sauce sketching!
Had a lovely meal last Friday night at Glyn Clydach near Neath in my beloved South Wales. Can you see what it is yet?
