Over 35 original letters reveal how Vincent Van Gogh was a highly intelligent, impassioned and gifted letter writer. His fascinating letters, rarely exhibited to the public due to their fragility, were displayed together with 65 paintings and 30 drawings and they show how Van Gogh painted his thoughts, hopes and dreams onto canvas. He was an intelligent, passionate reader with a vast knowledge of art and literature, who read fluently in Dutch, English, French and German. His art was the all-consuming subject of his correspondence.

Home Again : )
Finally, I'm home! The no flights ban due to volcanic ash was thankfully lifted, no more volcanos erupted, and, whilst on standby, my family and I managed to get seats on a flight back to London by turning up at Larnaca's airport (Cyprus), suitcases in hand, announcing we were ready to fly. We were seated in business class and were soon back in the sunny UK. Order is restored and all is calm again. These lovely, tidy box plants give me a wonderful feeling of security and tidiness. Love this Georgian architecture. I wonder who stands on that little ledge and clips the perfect green globes.
