My artist friends, especially the pleinairers should be interested in this. From a book which belonged to my Grandad, John J. Freeney, initialed by him and dated 5th March 1919. Read the text at bottom.

Another fabulous day at the "Nest"... A full studio for Tony's workshop, made for a great atmosphere. Judging by the feedback and the standard of work produced, I think it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed the day...
