Ìý"As my friend and informant, RadioÌý4 plays a real part in achieving and sustaining that 'abstract area' outside the conscious self which is necessary to become absorbed in the creative process. I am an enthusiastic world traveller; the discovery of other worlds and peoples are a delight to me. Sadly, these days, I travel more in my mind through programmes such as From Our Own Correspondent. Here, the journalists paint their own pictures with words intelligence and sensitivity. Over the years, Mark Tully has informed and fuelled a longing to visit India. Last Autumn I made my first painting trip to Rajasthan. Thank you Mark Tully!"
