Sculpture
We took J&S to see R’s relatives near Uttoxeter today, which gave me an opportunity to drive their 1948 Ferguson tractor around their field. Afterwards we walked around the JCB factory lake which has two statues sculpted by R’s cousin Mark in prominent positions around it. We took Mark down there (he is just visible walking with S in the photo) and he explained to us that he had created the Startled Horse statue a few years before the Bamfords bought it, and commissioned him to do the other statue on the factory side of the lake.
He is a very talented person, currently working on some figurines that will be used in a TV series that is filming later in the month.
After the lake walk we headed back, had a bite to eat, and then took part in a quiz. We came fourth.
