Starting out in Essex

Yesterday I gave my talk 'Adventures of the Roving Artist' to the Cambridge Rutherford Rotary Club. They meet on a weekly basis in Queens College - a stunning location. It went down very well with plenty of the gentlemen enquiring about possible commissions.

At the end of the day, I found a B&b on an arable farm in Duddenhoe End. When I came for my breakfast this morning, I asked for a bacon sandwich. The Dutch lady who was serving me looked at me strangely and said 'in 25 years of doing B&b no one has ever asked for such a thing as a bacon sandwich!' I wondered what they had been asking for? The way she said it made me think that I'd asked for a trough of baked beans, garnished with a couple of dead dogs!
