All of the clippings go to make some medicine to treat cancer.<br />There is a legend connected with the trees. Every time an extra tree is planted, it does not survive or an old one dies.

Considering that the windows were made over 150 years ago, they do have an almost contemporary appearance.<br />Gambart, the Picture Dealer, was very well known in London and Paris at that time. He obviously did something to upset the 'Brotherhood' which has forever sealed his fate within the window.<br />Artists and writers, have ways and means of getting their own back!!!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
