Born Free

On 13th July I visited the home and galleries of international artist Pollyanna Pickering where she was hosting an event to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Born Free Foundation (www.bornfree.org.uk). It was a very special day indeed, a chance to meet special guest Virginia McKenna (one of my alltime favourite actresses) and her son Will Travers, President of the Foundation. You can read more about my day on my blog - CLICK HERE

Pollyanna Pickering Talkimage

Pollyanna Pickering was the guest speaker, an internationally successful artist of huge inspiration to me. Definitely worth the 50 mile motorbike ride of torrential rain to get there!
