The exhibition looks very handsome in the excellent Pallant house Gallery.

I was told it was easier to see the murals there than in their usual, permanent home and I'm also told that they are displayed even better in Chichester. On Sunday, a couple of days ago, I was privileged to be on a Regency Society trip to Cookham where we had a conducted tour of the village itself and a talk in the Stanley Spencer Gallery which is run by volunteers in a converted Methodist church. There are some photos on Facebook but it was a very dull and overcast day. When I saw them in December I found the Sandham murals intensely moving and poignant but then I fell very much in love with Spencer's work years ago. Marvellous on Sundsy standing in the churchyard where the Resurrection painting is set. I'm off very shortly to see my wonderful hypnotist in Lewes.
