On Saturday Andy, Michelle, Nick and I braved some very cold, wet and windy conditions to see the Henry Moore sculpture exhibit at Kew Gardens. We had been meaning to go since it opened about 6 months ago but had never got there, so finally with the end date imminent we made our way to Kew to check it out. I'm a huge Henry Moore fan and it was great to see the sculptures up close - the scale of some of them was much bigger than you imagine and the detail on the surface of the bronze works was very curious - our guide said he would often take to them with strange things like cheese graters.
