Hi Hilda
The site is terrific, thank you for sending me the link.
I particularly like the rotating pix- are you going to upload more as time goes on? Or what about a changing gallery of themed photos? Or contributions from visitors??
Looking forward to my next visit
Best
Vi
Thanks Vi.As you realise there are dozens of images there at present but I will re-load in the fullness of time. There are also images attached to most of the pieces about articles so there will be a regular new supply of photos.
A current contribution from a ‘visitor’ is the image from Felicity Harvest of the notice to be aware of squirrels taken in the Isle of Wight
You will have seen the horse and foal sculptures no doubt – not in England but Sydney! Hilda
