Into the second half of April, already? Saw the first Swift today, panting on the TV antenna; know how he/she feels . . . . The lists get longer, and the "must do's" gallop along to an invisible finish-line, all neck and neck. Good move this week though, bringing in the one and the only Mr. John Loman (www.rookywood.org) who is, coincidentally, already working with Rachel Lilley of Bath in a photographic capacity. Eyes like funeral pyres and a wit to skin a cat at 100 paces, but with the legs on the wrong way round, John is skilled, sharp, unpredictable and generally utterly fantastic; he knows he is a genius and is just passing time, quietly, until the rest of us work out how much of one and what to do about it. Can't wait to see him add claws to our colour and bones to our flesh!
