I’m guessing it’s not Birdcage Walk because it seems to have walked!

Well Jenny, I missed your response yesterday so it’s the UK presumably. I did wonder if it was actually green! Maybe it looked more so because of the red surround. No Scots coming through yet!

Tessa, yes, it’s the UK.  Interesting that Lewis chose just red for the English flag, I automatically thought of the Union Jack colours.   I’ve got a very useful world map of flags, and it’s surprising how many other countries’ flags use both these sets of colours.

So Jenny's was the UK.  My 'everywhere' guess wasn't far out.  Clearly guessing the street for mine is just nonsense as you'll all know.  But I thought Tony's Birdcage Walk quip was great.

I though I would join in the fun, and I did have a lot of fun mixing every shade of my allotted colours to come up with this.

Nicely done Katy. This is all too easy so far! So this is the colours of the flag where my dad’s family came from, about an hour’s flying time from say the Midlands. (Probably more a state than a country!)

Another interesting and popular challenge. A monochrome from me in blue and white.

Great sketch, Fiona, Indigo makes a lovely monochrome painting.  Like the square format.

Haven’t guessed yours Tessa yet, here is a blatant copy of your idea, fruit, a plate and my husbands mother’s birthplace. Probably also about an hour from the midlands. Such fun!
