Battlegroup Afghanistan – The Armoured Soldier’s Story

Projects live in our imagination and on the drawing board for a long time so it’s always exciting when they finally come to life.   Last week Charlie returned from a site visit at the new Battlegroup Afghanistan Exhibition at the Tank Museum, Dorset where final touches are being put in place.

The collection encompasses his childhood,...

A lick of paint for the chicken

I had a great meeting at St James Priory, Bristol earlier this week.

The church is being carefully restored and it has been a privilege to see this work progressing under the watchful eye of the St James Project directors, the conservation architect and English Heritage. As I was leaving, the sun came out and I looked up and took this picture of the first signs of the church tower emerging from its cloak of scaffolding. The...
