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
