From Kew Bridge, 1864
A walk foreshortened by the Thames
that once would flow through field and moor –

that changes worlds while we’re asleep....

and I am the perfect guest and want to be alone in my dreams
of childhood to recoil and entertain a conversation with a world...

A sculptor whose work is really first class
I adore his flowers made from blown glass
Last week my son went to the exhibition in Kew gardens London and sent me the most spectacular photographs which have introduced me to this amazing artist. We have now booked to go to London to see the exhibition for ourselves and my son has booked us tickets as an early Christmas present
