Cover Caption This Week's Cover: Wherever there's a GB plate there's usually a tea kettle, but the charm of the Italian Riviera is that visitors so quickly feel like natives. Soon that Primus stove will be condemned to dark idleness with the spare wheel, and vino rosso will be the family drink. Tomorrow, George Ditton's new arrivals at the fishing town of Noli will breakfast on fresh peaches and for lunch there will be sardines, deliciously grilled over hot embers. Ditton himself knows the allure of this sunlit world. But this year he's camping in Cornwall – with his wife, four children, a nanny and a poodle. "It's a second holiday," he says. "Painting this cover was the first."
