So – ‘Tent’ was completed and installed at the beginning of this week on a blisteringly hot day with the church gardens – which are quite beautiful- in full bloom. A completely different place to our site visit in the […]
Hi All this seems to have lurked unpublished on my blog – unloved and unvisited so I will just hit the publish button. The work was extraordinarily powerful and lives with me still. …………………… Lovely comment to my last […]
