Marketing New Zealand

I wrote this Paper
MARKETING NEW ZEALAND
shown on the cover,
at the request of the Editor of Management Magazine,
The Journal of the Insititute of Management of
New Zealand
as I had said many times that New Zealand
was relatively unknown
This paper encouraged The Hon. Brian Tallboys, after our meeting in Singapore,
to Chair a Conference in Wellington at which he asked me to speak.
At the Talks which I now give, in England, years later,
as I did to The Townswomen's Guild, last week
I, once again, talk about my work as

Bilateral Aid Advisor to New Zealand and Malaysia Governments
and still find that many people still are keen to learn about this aspect of my life
in the UK and overseas

Trafalgar Square London

Recently when I stayed in London
to attend meetings and
the Annual Dinner of The Civil Service Club

I had a day in which I could sit and draw parts of London
which I have known well for many years
as my family took me to London
as a child
This view towards The Houses of Parliament
from the fountains makes a
splendid drawing
which I enjoyed making on a bright sunny June day

Exhibition Dudley St Augustines Church

It has now been confirmed that the Church at Holly Hall Dudley would like me to hold an Exhibition
during September

I anticipate that I will show local works including Shugborough, the ancestral home of The Earls of Lichfield,
Himley Hall, which features on the cover of my book 'Drawings of my childhood places',
towns and villages of the Midlands, landscapes,
and also many of my international works including books for Russia, about Malaysia, New Zealand, Paris, England
The Exhibition will also include photographs, as seen in The Photographers Gallery,
and works exhibited internationally by The British Council

Memories of Paris

Since on May 23rd I had the formal launching of my book
A trip to Paris

I have looked at the photographs which were taken during the few days
when I took my nephew for a holiday in Paris, for his 15th birthday
This look at Paris was taken by Jason,
he showed quite an interest in photography,
enjoying the sights and sounds of this beautiful city

Open Day Himley Church

21st June 2008

This drawing is one of many which I have made
of the Himley district, as I enjoy the peace of nearby Himley Hall
on many days, and launched my book 'Drawings of my childhood places' in the Hall
especially, I think, I appreciate it, in the winter, when the grounds
are quite peaceful.
They are open for all to enjoy
Capability Brown's designs for this estate of The Earl of Dudley

This weekend the memorial garden of The Earl of Dudley is open
just for two days,
and today Saint Michael's Church Himley
has an Open Day,
when visitors can enjoy the surroundings of this,
the Church of Himley Hall, the grounds of
which are along the narrow lane from the Hall

A trip to Paris

The formal launch of my latest book
A trip to Paris
by Sir Patrick Cormack FSA MP
on 23rd May
enabled me to invite a number of people whom I knew, to see some of my paintings, drawings photographs and books
.............................................................................................................
One person who has not appeared in the pictures, because she was behind the camera,
was Gail, who with her husband Chris Smith,
owns the Village Voice magazines which circulate in Wombourne,
Himley and other nearby villages
Gail had earlier visited me to see my books, writing and illustrations, for other journals and newspapers
and she took the pictures which I have used,
one of which has already been seen in The Dudley News newspaper article on 11th June
I am delighted with such an excellent record of this, for me, very special day
This photograph was taken during a different visit,
one of many which I have made to this
elegant city
I hope that my 'Trip to Paris' is shown in Paris soon....
...................................................................................
so that French people can enjoy my lighthearted look at their city which I have enjoyed visiting
so much
