I have to confess that I'm not sure of the name for the reliefs... but I can tell you that the wild cat (I think he might be a leopard, rather than a lion...) is in a spandrel!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-40949965182648994802013-07-18T22:54:09.382+01:002013-07-18T22:54:09.382+01:00Thanks very much.

And my photos of the cast-off shoes and parasol were a cheeky, subtle reference to the reckless abandon of a love affair...

I would like to see the film of Orlando too - I'm intrigued by Tilda Swinton but must confess I've never seen any of her films.
