Having heard about your exhibition when we met on the March U3A walk I visited Queen’s Park last week. I really enjoyed looking at your work, and hope you and Liz had lots of visitors to see your work. The exhibition was well set out and I spent a long time enjoying the individual art works. I found much of it very beautiful and inspiring, and could only imagine the enormous amount of work in each piece. Thank you for a delightful visit.

Best wishes, Janet
