Sorry Vince not that.

Officially I go up to number 17, but 13 to 17 are only generally used in Taiwan and China.

What is the name of the valley that was the setting of many paintings by the renowned artist John Constable? The valley is still known for natural beauty.

Been there many times when I worked in Felixstowe so I reckon it is Dedham Vale

Dedham Vale is there but it's not the answer I'm looking for.

Yes, that's correct . John Constable painted scenes in Dedham Vale which is a river valley but I was looking for the Stour Valley because the book I was reading said,"The Stour Valley region was the was setting for many paintings by John Constable.The Stour Valley is a gentle landscape of lazy little rivers, quaint churches, country pubs and cricket on the village green." Dave was right but I was looking for the other right answer.

Well done Ruth,over to you.
