The lion and the unicorn


Since this blog is seen through glass, first mention of our trip yesterday to St George's Bloombury (Hawkesmoor) is of the fine windows inside the church which I inspected with renewed interest in the technique of tracing black and silver stain. But the real excitement was climbing the scaffolding up the tower to see the restored lions and unicorns fighting for the crown at each corner of the stepped pinnacle. And not a bad view of the British Museum from the gantry. Spectacular!



Then on to the gallery at Morley College for the PV of our glass engraving students' show.
