The
Big Dalle de Verre Wall for Old Museum linked with New Museum, approx
5m x 6m. Here too as usual we are way behind, although all is agreed
and a large scaffold put up. We are waiting for contractor to install
frame to hold our large and heavy panel, he has been very tardy.
Also no money has been seen which would really be helpful to buy
materials. But Nani has been busy collecting fossils for part in
the wall and the bench below. |

St
Maries Hospital 3 panels in big new wall, for next year.
