I've been lurking in and around the streets of the West End, looking at the extraordinary range of flags and bunting which seem to be mushrooming at the moment for the Jubilee. I took a bus up and down Regent and Oxford Streets to get a closer look at the vibrant colours of the Union Jack plastered across the streets. It helps to think of Austin Powers! The wonderful weather has been superb for painting.

Also went to the Chelsea Flower Show on Saturday and was impressed by the plant sale at the end of the last day. People staggered to Sloane Square station laden down with huge plants and flowers. With the late afternoon light behind them and the mass of people and plants, it had a Palm Sunday feel.

Off to Horse Guards tomorrow; the Changing of the Guard has been a great exercise in getting the colour
down as quickly as possible. Only hope the weather continues!
