Another rain watercolour drawing. I've always liked doing small but tall pictures. I hope this is still on someone's wall after 25 years. It shows the view down Trinity Lane in Cambridge with part of Gonville and Caius on the right.

Made it to #cleethorpes and after checking into my hotel my 1st port of call was the #beachhuts. Last saw these in 2002 and was very excited to find their essential #1950s styling still preserved. Love those steep diagonal railings, so #FestivalofBritain

Now my book - The Postal Paths - is out, I am starting to get some great feedback. A woman from a village in #Yorkshire has got in touch to tell me about the postman's hut in her garden (now used as a shed) - somewhere for the postie to relax halfway on his 14-mile daily walk!

The boundary dividing public and private land on the California coast is jagged, piecemeal, and shifting. State agencies have long protected this ambiguity, maintaining a fragile compromise between homeowners and the public interest. As the sea rises and coastline erodes, who should bear the loss?
