I revisited old haunts in London recently, and found inspiration in springtime.
If you stand and listen, the city is alive with bird calls. And not just pigeons! The landscaping of each beautiful park ensures that the natural sounds which might usually accompany fields full of daffodils haven’t been lost to commuters and tourists. It’s reassuring to know some birds are thriving here.
On my way through London, I took time to visit the Mall Galleries and stand in awe of the remarkable talent manifested in the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours exhibition. Considerable thought had gone into the layout and presentation of the artworks on show. As always, a real pleasure.
