On Thursday Peter and I drove to London to attend the ‘Private View’ held for participating artists in the Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries. At 6.30 pm the pavement on the Mall was thronged with guests waiting for the doors to open.

Our party begins to arrive. From left to right, my sisters-in-law Christine and Sally, Peter’s niece, Kate, Peter and me.

I am greatly obliged to Simon for inviting me to show in the exhibition.

The man who helps make it all happen, my greatest supporter and my partner, Peter Wakelin.
