Almost a year later, 17 October 2008, we again visited Patrick - this time for the John Piper film and once again he bewitched us with his accounts of working with Piper, initially on the windows for Oundle School Chapel and then of course the Baptistery window at Coventry Cathedral; Eton College Chapel; secular work for Sandersons in Berners Street, London; the corona at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool; Robinson College Chapel, Cambridge - and so on, but I musn't give too much away!

Brought up in Stockton-on-Tees, went to Sheffield University to study Architecture and ended up with a degree in English. Took a secretarial course and worked in an Architect's office hoping to put myself through art school. Met Graham, married and moved to Saudi Arabia (where I was PA to a Government Minister), then Iraq (I did a correspondence course in Interior Design to fill up the time), then Hong Kong. Our two boys were born there and I worked as a freelance graphic designer. Back to UK (Englefield Green) in 1997, did MA and PhD at Royal Holloway, London University (a hop and a skip down the road). Moved to Kent 2003. The rest is history.
