Not only is this my second post today, but amazingly this is the second post of this goat sculpture in London. Elaine beat me to it a few days ago. How fab is that. Top of the pecking order of goats in London I’d say!
‘I Goat’ is to be found 3.5metres high on its packing boxes in Spitalfields. It is the work of Kenny Hunter. Apparently the artist at the goats unveiling in 2011 said;
“Goats are associated with non-conformity and being independently-minded. That is also true of London, its people and never more so than in Spitalfields”.
Beautiful goat sculpture! Who’s the artist? I wanna ask him some favor for my lovely pet!

Is that pronounced spittle-fields?

It is indeed! There was once a priory and medieval hospital here called St Mary’s Spital, and the fields which surrounded it, where the market first started, were known as Spitalfields. The name has stuck.
Here’s a post I did a few weeks ago https://beckybofwinchester.com/2020/03/25/streets-of-spitalfields/ tells you more about the area

Thank you. I’m still pondering St Mary’s spittle, but I probably shouldn’t.
However, I also noted that you mentioned your step-daughter’s vegan cheese. As luck would have it, my husband and I decided to try a vegan diet this year. I’ve tried to make one cheese, which was fine, but am interested in any other recipes, if she doesn’t mind passing them on. I can trade a killer vegetable roll (like sausage rolls only no sausage mince) or faux chicken snitz!

Hee hee I know the spital versus spittle is intriguing!

Unfortunately on the recipes I cannot help. The cheeses she sells are her income and so understandably the recipes are a trade secret.
On one of her courses you do get to learn how to make a different cheese, but again those courses are a huge part of her income and so that recipe will only go to those booked on the courses.
However I know when she started she began with a recipe found in a book. So you might be able to do the same or google. Most of her cheeses are based on cashew nuts, and I know you need to soak them first . . . sorry I can’t be of more help but hopefully that will be a good place to start

Interesting! I assumed Kenny Hunter was local to us because we have some of his sculptures in Glasgow.

From Edinburgh originally, but made the sensible decision to travel west to study at Glasgow School of Art and still lives in Glasgow 🙂

Makes sense, because he has a sculpture in the Gorbals and all the other sculptures are by local artists.
