Worcestershire

Some years ago on one of my many visits from
overseas to see my parents
I made a series of drawings of local houses to add to the collection which I started
many years ago when I studied in Dudley my home town

The one here a family home in Kingswinford called itself Wayside...
which, as it sits on the main road
from the small town, to open countryside, my present home Himley,
location of the beautful Himley Hall, which I have drawn, in which I had a book launch,
also in which I had an office, and which daily, I visit to enjoy Capability Brown's chosen landscape
then Wolverhamption City
I suppose is appropriate
in some countries where I have lived, this would be a rarity
but thankfully in England many simple houses like this litter the countryside
making this Country unique in its attractions
