We hasten to assure everybody that its absence will be brief and that it should be back in its accustomed place about four weeks later. In common with other stained glass windows, ours is suffering from the ravages of wind and weather, and from the challenge of having to support its own great weight over an exten ded period. It is to be dismantled, cleaned and completely releaded. On its return it will be shielded from the elements by an acrylic screen rather than the present wire mesh barrier (allowing more light to reach it) and we are looking into the possibility of floodlighting to enhance its visibility at night. - APRIL IN THE CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT WIZZERS, GLIDERS AND BANGERS LAR () - Learn to design and build spectacular paper airplanes!
