Art and art doings from Jo Dalgety. Bad King John and his good legacy. We trained to the next stop and walked towards Runnymede, some alongside the River Thames.

An artwork by Hew Locke for Runnymede, Surrey, UK to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta. The Kennedy Memorial i...

Passing through water meadows, rural villages, historical towns and cities and finally through the heart of London to end at the Thames Barrier in Greenwich. Catherine has walked this path from the source at Kemble and finally to Eton last night and a short train ride back to the house – beats camping and muesli for dinner! July 31, 2015.

Art and art doings from Jo Dalgety. And that sweet City with her dreaming spires…. Oxford is known as the “city of dreaming spires”. To get an idea of Oxford in our short time, we did a guided walking tour. Our handsome young law student entertained us for two hours with loud stories of Oxford, the colleges and the rivalry with Cambridge. What else did we see apart from umbrellas and people? Antony Gormley sculpture in central Oxford – one of a series called Another Time. One of the gardens at Rhodes Hou...
