    Now would this be your informal Garden Dinghy or someone else’s. Fabulous garden well photographed too. Hope you’ll be at the Eastgate on the 17th for the PRA summer Exhi. Just handed in three pics for framing this morning. Popped in yesterday to the Eastgate but didn’t see Ian or Andrew sadly. I was the only person in at the time. The exhibition looks great.
