GWR had serious timetable problems today but we loved the trip between Reading and Totnes. Took these snaps as the sun went down at Newton Abbot just before our destination.

Returned to my first love recently — painting. Attending life-drawing and portraiture workshops for the past year. Here's an oil-bar portrait I made there a couple of months ago, that I'm not ashamed to show here. I'm enjoying your posts, Jonathan.

Looking forward to a pleasure I've not enjoyed for some years: a train journey to Devon, for Clive Donovan's launch of his 3rd collection of poems, 'Movement of People', on 21st at Bogan House in Totnes. We published it last month and we're very proud of it. www.dempseyandwindle.com/clivedonovan...
