Peace on form.

On Sunday we checked out Carol Peace's sculptor exhibition at Paintworks Bristol. A classic view of the human form with a contemporary twist. intimate pieces such as "Precious" inspired by the simplicity of companionship and touch made an impression. What we liked was the insight into the journey of a piece from its conception, documented through sketches of the artist's muse, to the final product.

Three quarters of Brits unable to name Great Britain's three countries.


Most people do not know how many countries make up Britain or which is the world's most spoken language, a national survey has found.

More than half wrongly believe that English is the most common language, while just over a third (37%) correctly identified it as Mandarin Chinese.

And less than a quarter correctly identified England, Wales and Scotland as being the countries that make up Great Britain.

The poll of 2,000 adults was commissioned by geographic technology company ESRI UK to mark Geography Awareness Week.
