The modern mural on Tollemache House designed in 1963 by the famous Polish artist, Caziel Zielenkiewicz, who was married to Catherine Sinclair, the eldest daughter of Sir Archibald Sinclair. BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder and when it comes to art opinions are frequently divided - particularly nowadays when there appears to be little evidence of skill in many contemporary art pieces, or installations as we are supposed to call them. Tracey Emin's My Bed is one of the most infamous examples of this, being short-listed for the Turner Prize and little different to many a clarty bed around the UK.

Dan Mackay is looking forward to a spring and summer on the road aboard his trusty Drag Star. Photo: Eswyl Fell. 'THERE is a green hill far away, without a city wall..."

Maybe it's because some of my thoughts have been about an acquaintance who has been fighting a long, hard and dignified battle against a terminal condition. A battle to which she finally succumbed.
