Ow wow! Your cousin did a great Job on the book! Imagine buying a book about an artist, and getting the added bonus of lots of detail about her own and her husband's families, as well as the Lady herself! What a woman she was too! And I think I have the answer to why the marriage of my great grandmother was not approved of by her family!
When I emailed the curator of the Museum to see if the book was still available, I outlined my connection to her. Ordered the book, and when it arrived, was such a surprise how much more I got out of it! When I emailed her after I received the book, she wrote back that she knew I would love it!
I do have a number of images of her paintings, but have also got 3 or 4 on here also, a month or so ago on the photo restoration board, having frames tidied up, and some reflections removed! The restorers of course did a marvellous job!
Arrive London, then Ayrshire, Dublin, Mansfield, Westbury, back to London, then home! I'll be in UK for most of July.
Really looking toward to seeing the paintings, and other families connected to me! This will be my 3rd trip following my families lives! It's very rewarding, but I'm going to have to take in washing and go out scrubbing floors when I get back!! 😱😱
Yes, I've seen on the news about your heatwave? My first visit was in 2003 - another big heat wave in UK and Europe. Then again in 2013, but a wonderful summer month in August! Only 1/2 hr rain in London, and 1/2 hr rain in Edinburgh at the Tattoo! I'm got lucky I'm told!
