David Hockney’s mum visited him in Southern California after he’d moved there in the 1960s, and as they drove back from the airport she looked up into clear blue sky and said,
“I don't understand it. Such lovely drying weather and no one's got their washing out."
Bless.

In 1957 Hockney stopped off in Kirton, Suffolk for a summer holiday; this picture shows the High Street. There's no plaque marking this association. A few years ago, when I enquired why, the reply was that few people knew about it! Hockney rather enjoyed that when I told him.

‘The Magnet’ is a former pub in #Middlesbrough Once a thriving 1960’s live music venue and a cornerstone of the community, the building is now derelict, facing an uncertain future following years of closure #LostPubsOfBritain #DocumentingBritain #UrbanLandscape @sonyaphotoart

Up to 1938, Adrian Allinson usually spent part of each spring and summer in the Mediterranean. This landscape is most likely Ibiza. Allinson would make initial sketches in situ, and then each winter, he painted the scenes at his north London studio.
