Cas 9th August 2009

I have been spending time with Sally and Jennie this week. Sally and I visited St Ives Parish church, in particular the 'Lady Chapel'where you will see the beautiful sculpture of the 'Madonna and Child' carved by Dame Barbara Hepworth in memory of her son Paul, killed in action over Thailand in 1953 serving in the RAF.Barbara Hepworth as a painter and sculpturess is a particular love of Sally and Cas. Children are encouraged to run their hands over the Christ's Child's head and feel the texture of the marble. Candles were lit for John and the family.
