I am a patron of the arts! I contributed to a crowdfunder by poet, teacher and Quaker Rebecca Leek to publish her poem Elizabeth Fry Stops By, about the legacy of Elizabeth Fry and following the formation of the Cambridge Union Society Of Women. I now have five copies of this beautiful booklet

Today, had he lived , my dad Rupert Edwards would have been 88. I miss him, and his memory makes me smile. It is fitting we are at a HPB holiday property St Brides Castle in Pembrokeshire, which he loved. We will play our family game of cribbage in his honour tonight

Our art trip this weekend was to Dulwich Picture Gallery for the “Beyond Ravillious” exhibition of the work of Tirzah Garwood. It is excellent and rightly popular. Garwood was a painter, did wood engraving, embroidery, marbled paper and wallpaper design, and collage before and after WW2.

Yes that both were untypical was what appealed to me (among some other brilliant works). The Van Gogh exhibition is a once in a lifetime collection though also understandably busy
