I'm enjoying this lovely book; I wouldn't say that it's as readable as Tirzah Garwood's charming autobiography, but the illustrations are a delight and a happy reminder of that wonderful exhibition at Eastbourne last year. (If you missed it, it's transferring soon to Compton Verney which would make a lovely spring day out.)

What a shame ... Tea at Furlongs seems so delightful, although no doubt the table was laid and cups were washed-up grudgingly by the women artists while the men got on with becoming more famous.

I'm not getting on very well with Long Live Great Bardfield. There's something rather bloodless about Tirzah's voice. Everybody seems to be judged on their appearance.
Anjelica Huston is having a similar effect on me. Perhaps a mistake to be reading the two in tandem.
I wanted her to stop being so self-effacing and kick up a row when Eric misbehaved, Lucille.
What a shame you can't remember, Sue! Did you see the Peggy Angus exhibition a couple of years ago? I didn't, and kicked myself later.
Ravilious illustrations? Yes please!
I did enjoy 'Long Live Great Bardfield' but like you wanted Tirzah to call Eric to account or give him a good kick where it hurts...
I know it was another era, Veronica, but sometimes you can't blame men for trying it on when women are such drips!
Anjelica Huston is being similarly accepting of Jack Nicholson's infidelties.
