Dear Mike:
Your approval means VERY MUCH to Dave and I, since you are a leader in the dialing community. We are so glad you like the new site. I must say though that I was shocked at first to find so few PWS in Great Britain, a country with such a rich dialing tradition. We have only found 2 good ones (ones with good artwork instead of just hour lines). See Dials 19 and 253: http://advanceassociates.com/WallDial/Dials/PaintedWallSundial019.jpg and http://advanceassociates.com/WallDial/Dials/PaintedWallSundial253.jpg I've been discussing the reasons for this with Doug Bateman, and we have come to the conclusion that that there are few PWS in Great Britain because the buildings are made mostly of bricks and stone- rough surfaces that don't lend themselves easily to fine paintings. Also, the rainy weather might have something top do with it. What do you think about this? Thanks again for taking the time to write and for any help you can give us in locating any more good British examples. Happy New Year, John From: Mike Cowham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2006 9:00 AM To: John Carmichael; Sundial List Subject: Re: A Christmas Present for You: The New Painted Wall Sundials Website Dear John, I have just had the opportunity to look at your fabulous new Website of Painted Wall Sundials. Congratulations! It is fantastic, and so much work. It certainly goes well with your Stained Glass Dials of a couple of years back. Thanks so much for sharing this wealth of information with us all. Now, let me dig into my archives and I will surely be able to add a few more.... Best Wishes to You and all the Sundial List for 2007 Mike Cowham Cambridge UK.
