Great time in London for the John Lockwood Kipling Exhibition at the V&A & the Chaim Stephenson Exhibition at St Martin in the Fields, with lunch in the Crypt, hence the blip. Lockwood Kipling was instrumental in celebrating and recording arts and crafts in India, thanks to an early visit to the Great Exhibition of 1851. The V&A piece doesn't tackle the imperialist questions of the time but does celebrate an infectious passion for arts & crafts. So we return home knowing more and asking more questions. The extra is of the stunning "Job", by Chaim Stephenson.
