Di He's only saying that cus he doesnt want you to be angry when you find out that he's printing the paintings out and flogging them to raise monies for the site

I dont know the building or the areas so I cant comment on its likeness - however its another lovely watercolour Di, and i love those sandy red colours on buildings

Possibly Fergie - of course I only knew her as Miss Underhill, she never seemed to have any visitors (besides me) and rarely went out unless it was to do some shopping or to go church

wowee - both lovely - but the second one is amazing

Rupert - the corner of Goldshill Road & Stafford Road - front entrance of The Tech School

Cromwell - Handsworth 'baths' now
