Tom Penney Sculpture at the Fisherton Mill
 |
My dad, who grew up in Broadchalke, has a couple of sculptures at the Fisherton Mill. There are two pieces – ‘Apple Tree’ which is indoors and is pictured here, and an outdoor sculpture of a woman, the title of which I don’t remember. I’ve not been able to photograph them very effectively, so go and have a look! |

Epsom Downs at Salisbury Playhouse

Finally, I went to see Epsom Downs at the Playhouse last week, and really enjoyed it. It tells the stories of various peoples days at the Derby – a disgraced Labour peer, a stable boy, bookies, jockeys, the Aga Khan and lots of other characters. |
