In John Bird's column in the Big Issue this week he writes about the art of Richard Dadd. There is a new exhibition of this artist's work (paintings of fairies including "The Fairy Fellers Master-stroke") at Watts Gallery in Compton near Guildford. It seems that Compton doesn't have a railway station and the Watts Gallery website is not helpful to someone who would like to get there without a car.
There is a lot to see in London available by reasonable public transport, but there is an awful lot of interesting places that can only be seen if you have a car - or if you have a friend interested in visiting the same place as you who has a car.
I am very careful not to impose on my few car-owning friends - for friendship's sake as much as for using as little oil as possible. So will have to try to find a website with a few pictures of Dadd's to send a link to my friend Hilda, who lives in Streatham, to see if she likes that type of art and would be interested in a visit.
