Found time today to visit Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury in Suffolk before a meeting. A fantastic museum and gallery with a mix of contemporary art, including a great Stanley Spencer exhibition on until March, alongside Gainsboroughs & Constables.

A trip to Cookham to finally see the Stanley Spencer Gallery.
I only know about Stanley Spencer because of seeing Tony Sher in the Pam Gems play.Loved being able to geek out in the production archive clippings from the late 90’s.

Two catalogues from exhibitions of Stanley Spencer paintings
For the start of 2025 I'm enjoying an exploration of the paintings of #StanleySpencer , with a view to writing some poetry inspired by them. Id half thought about building towards a possible pamphlet of them, but find it's already been done.... twice!!!!!
