Some of his stuff is really sad and I don't like it but the rest is special, at least to me. <br /><br />NB:<br />I don't believe the children could or would do the long walks in all kinds of weather to get to and from school.

It was the first time I had seen the 'Potato Eaters' and was amazed at the size of it.
