It is a delight to read such positive feedback about a tour manager - well done and thank you!

Fabulous lecture. Never knew so much about Dutch art and history. So good I am watching the replay!

One of the best webinars I have ever taken- the overview and history were so extensive I have to watch the replay to get it all!

This was the finest lecture about Van Gogh that I ever heard- I learned more about his life and his art than I ever knew-

Thanks so much for a great run of super lectures at Richmond. The knowledge and skill of the lecturers - Jo, Cindy, Julia - is really awesome. Aren't we lucky?
Next year's selection looks great. I'm really looking forward to them. By the way, Sally is doing a good job of keeping everyone in order. Her work is much appreciated.

Hi Mariska
I’ve been enjoying the latest additions to your website and always like to browse from time to time. Your list of New York’s hidden gems shows that you’ve been using your time well!

Hi Mariska
Thanks for finding Lydia Bauman. She talked to us in Richmond about painting of gardens, Monet to Matisse. She was brilliant. Such an interesting, fast moving, picture-rich talk.
Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.
Susan Holder, who did the 3 Bauhaus lectures, was also very good. Knew her stuff, gentle and accessible.
All these lectures have had very good attendee numbers.
Thanks again!
Best wishes

I have just returned home after the guided tour of Strawberry Hill House followed by lunch there.
I took a friend and we both found it very interesting and enjoyable. The tour leader was very good and clear in her explanations. The only criticism we had was that it would have been good to have a little more time. We can, of course, get back there very easily and I have to say that on the whole one and a half hours is enough standing - I think I was reaching information overload too – but it mainly concerned having a chance to appreciate some of the artefacts that she’d particularly mentioned.
On another subject Hattie Bennet has delivered some very good Masterpiece lectures at Orleans House. I’m looking forward to the talks on three Christmas subjects.

"Thank you for another year of interesting lectures and visits."
