John Gray and Charles 1
Compton Verney
Summer madness and V. is a shadow of her former self. She progressed, and was then rubbed off (with silk) so that the outline remains. This is a lovely stage, and it is always tempting to leave just like that, but the next onslaught will be made when I go into my shed again when the migratory influx of Grays and others calms down.
Took a trip to Compton Verney on Friday afternoon and saw portraits from the Chequers collection as well as Chinese bronzes and 'The Fabric of Myth'. Robert Adam and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown wove their magic -- the trees are looking at their most luxuriant now, before they go over the top and autumn arrives.
