This is one of my favourite London statues – the fat lady sculpture in Exchange Square, out the back of Liverpool Street station. I don’t know if she has an official name. However, she lies languidly on the wall while bankers swirl around her eating lunch, having drinks and generally hanging out in the sun.

Greeting spring

This Balinese statue with a hibiscus behind each ear made me think that this is how we should greet the coming of the spring.

I saw many a statue adorned with flowers when we arrived in Bali. I don’t know if there is a particular significance to this gesture but it appealed to me a lot.
