Month: March 2018

The Easter Season has started, and I’m now feeling elated that the Harlequin is back in full swing. Details can be found on

Perhaps I’ll see some of you over the holiday.

Happy Easter to Everyone.

I had a delightfully unexpected gift through the post this morning – an exquisite miniature diorama of a beach Punch show constructed in half a walnut shell. I will post a picture but this doesn’t do it justice because the delight comes from appreciating how tiny are the pieces being modelled, positioned and painted. The artist, Ruth Brickland, has a website on which are illustrated a number of her creations. Many are inspired by lives of the saints, children’s literature and so forth, but I spotted Houdini and a Magician producing a Rabbit as being of special interest.
