Fundrun with Scouts – 27 September 2014

This lunchtime, I was pleased to join in with the Maidenhead Fundrun, organised by the local branch of the Lions Club. Truly, it put the fun into fundraising. I hope we will be able to try beating our team’s 66 laps next September.

Tour: ‘Paradise Regained’ at the Stanley Spencer Gallery

The gallery’s latest exhibition coincides with the centenary of the start of WWI and examines the effect the war had on the young artist. Stanley was one of five Spencer brothers, all of whom fought in the Great War; his older brother Sydney died at Epehy in September 1918, and is the only holder of the Military Cross remembered on the Cookham village war memorial.
