An exciting and busy day on Thursday. Exciting because the new website finally ‘went live’ and busy because of a double dose of NADFAS (sorry, The Arts Society, as it now is).

My Arts Society sessions were on both sides of the microphone, firstly (Part I) at my local branch, The Arts Society Blackheath, listening to a lecture ‘Treasures of the Turf’ by Christopher Garibaldi, the Director of the National Horse Racing Museum at Newmarket.  I was particularly interested in hearing about Newmarket as I’m going there on Monday to talk to Newmarket DFAS about ‘Signs and Symbols in Art’.

That will be my second visit to East Anglia in as many weeks, as I had my first ever visit to the beautiful city of Norwich, talking all things Hogarthian to The Arts Society Wensum.  Sometimes my job is a complete delight and that day trip to Norwich was one of those occasions!
