A couple of weeks ago I stopped off in Salisbury for breakfast in my favourite café on my way to a walk in Cranborne Chase. Time hung with some pleasing slowness, and I paused, in fact, to write a short foreword to an exhibition catalogue for the Salisbury Arts Centre. This had some resonance into my own past, as I was for many years, and greatly honoured so to be, Chair of the Board of the Salisbury Arts Centre, in St Edmund’s, a once-church-building.
