Quiver Tree, Namibia 
The poisonous sap from the Quiver Tree is used by the Bushmen on their arrow tips. The bark is amazing and this is best shown in oils using a palette knife.

Hughenden Manor, High Wycombe

I visited Disraeli's home on the 24th September 2013 where the National Trust have a new exhibition of World War Two mapmakers. It was a glorious late summer afternoon.
