Mmm... as ever struck, and thankful being, by your blasts out loud and proud of the things past Annette.

Bayeux Tapestry, soonish to be brought back across La Manche to Blighty fora period of temporary repatriation in a time seeking soothing rapprochement of a culturally inclined sort, nudges my imaginative mind into wondering "how would The Lichfield Rambler set about delivering on a commission to create a 'Lichfield Tapestry' looking towards a 900 years forward horizon rather harking back to Times Past when even Chad was, in heritage terms, but a lad?

You really do write so well of what you are passionate about, so why not write into that future into which neither thee nor me will be alive, thinking and kick ideas about?

Thank you Rob - yes I saw the news about the Bayeux Tapestry, which is exciting. You know, I have an idea that someone has created a Lichfield tapestry - I vaguely remember seeing one on display ...

You “vaguely” remembering amazes me Annette, you being the fine writer that you are nit least to the specificity of your polished prose.

More seriously, thanks for the information; it stirs a sort of kind' of recollection in my recollection.

Is that a hint of nail varnish on the statue’s toenails?

Am always struck by how big classic statues’ feet look. No wonder they wore sandals.
