Another France painting: this is in Saou. I crept out early to catch the sunlight streaming down an alley, then had the best almond croissant of the trip. Those days seem like a dream now.

From 28th October to 5th November we crossed from Vietnam to Thailand via Laos, by bus. Places we stopped at: Buddhist monk-populated Savannakhet, and Pakse, from where we took a boat to a tiny village called Champasak on the Mekong river. This was a lovely place (probably my favourite of the whole trip) which was just a cycle ride away from Wat Pho — a less grand but very beautiful version of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.
We also went kayaking, but the less said about that the better.

This is a bit of a naff picture of the Mekong, but it’s the only one I had.

While we were on the south coast I did some sketching at Dungeness. It’s got to be one of the best places in the UK to go with a pad and pencil. It’s got everything, including loads of messy telegraph poles, which I particularly love drawing.
Caz’s dad is responsible for the design of part of the nuclear power station, but I can’t remember which bit.
