Open Home this Sunday at Sargeson Home

The Sargeson Trust  is having another open house this Sunday 24 March 2-4pm at Frank’s place, 14a Esmonde Road, Takapuna with Kevin Ireland speaking. He was one of Frank’s guests in the army hut outside the door in his backyard. Says he read Decline of the West  in the long grass of Frank’s garden. This is part of events  to mark the 110^th anniversary of Sargeson’s birth.

You may have seen this already – a great short clip about the origins of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ slogan – I especially like the miniature trains running along the tops of the book shelves in the bookshop.
