Wandering the Gallery ~ Every Which Way

WANDERING THE GALLERY ~ EVERY WHICH WAY
There are many galleries within this website and the aviation website.
Space limits the galleries that I can make public. But, I can attach galleries in support of an article. This way, I am able to showcase digital artwork. In our favourite museums and galleries, we often decide to visit one tiny part at a time. If I do not discipline myself in this way, I am quickly overawed. I end up missing more than I see.
I establish the anchor point. This gives me the freedom to move pictures and paintings, photographs and artefacts around. In Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, there are two galleries and it is always a joy when the window display changes slightly and new artwork is displayed.

These Fringes are the cutting edge of societal thought, taking us beyond the accepted definition of the period’s view of what is normal, and what is natural.
Fringe theatre is the very lifeblood of nationhood, whether it be the collective nationhood, that is, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or the devolved nations of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
We are knit together. In good times we tend towards strident independence. In not-so-good times, or in plain evil times, this knitting comes to the fore when we discover the knitting together of the tissue and fibre of the soul.
It is why the United Kingdom has complete cross-party consensus both in government and within the peoples of these islands in our unequivocal support for Ukraine.
A mere eight decades ago, we stood alone and dared to defy a thug who “appealed to reason”. And when this country refused to surrender, its wartime leader replied to this appeal to reason with a warning that we then brought into being…
And because of that stance, I live today, eight decades on, in my seventh decade.
I look up and down the country, a collection of four nations, a patchwork quilt of hundreds of shires and counties embracing the North Sea, the English Channel, the Irish Sea and the great Atlantic Ocean, and think to myself,

His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
