A journey through time and progress: Sir Wilfrid Lawson's vibrant lithographs capture the essence of the Festival of Light, Thameside in September 1971. From the evolution of women's beachwear fashion in his "March of Progress" series, to the simple pleasure of a child's drink by the riverside, Lawson's art transports us through the decades. Fast forward to present day, as we explore the great outdoors on permissive paths. Tread lightly on the Yorkshire Water Permissive Path at Digley Reservoir, or wander through the new Millenium woodland in Mendlesham, Suffolk, marked by a Permissive Path sign. Let us not forget the importance of conservation, as we enjoy the beauty of nature. Witness the transformation of a Hampshire field margin into a conservation hedgerow, open for footpath use in September. Lastly, let us take a moment to reflect on the Englishman of 1670, as we embrace the freedom and joy of exploring the great outdoors, both then and now.
