Up and going properly here now! Our new name, Shirley Hughes and Friends, is inspired by a poster that Shirley had pinned up in her workroom for many years. One of her granddaughters noticed how, even though it had faded over time in the direct sunlight, ‘and friends’ remains clear and bright.

down the mountain.
Her silence and wild
falling is a compass
of hunger and memory.
This is how it goes so far away…
