His mother was one of the first women to drive a car by herself all the way across the United States within a week.

Although his diplomatic career later took him to posts all around the world, his daughter remembers him speaking fondly of "the best years of his life in Peking, Canton and Chunking". Whilst in China, James established friendships with prominent local artists, he was gifted a painting, as a token of farewell, by and from Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), one of the most celebrated 20th-century Chinese artists.

Sir Terry FROST (1915-2003) Untitled (Figure) (Kemp 30) Mixed media and linocut, signed. Further work to verso, self-portrait monotype. 20.5 x 29cm.From the collection of Ron Howell."I was introduced to Terry by Allan Freer who had commissioned various things from him during his time with Manchester Education Committee - some of the works are illustrated in the Lewis book. After the initial meeting, we became good friends and I visited Terry and Kath three or four times a year in Newlyn. But we also met in Venice, where I worked regularly, and Terry has a show at the Multigrafia Gallery and the year before his death, they came to the Aldeburgh Festival. The etching ‘On the Edge’ was made for that visit. During that visit, Terry said that he had always wanted to design an opera, and I was able to help him fulfill that with the commission for Opera East’s production of Britten’s ‘Rape of Lucretia’. Unfortunately, Terry was unable to see the production, and although I had it filmed, the editing only finished after his death. The etching ‘Blue Vertical’ came from this commission, and the ‘Spiral for Aldeburgh’ was used at his funeral, with one of his poems printed verso. In 2005, ‘Blue Drowning’, based on Terry’s lost painting Drowning Blue, was performed by the Scottish Strings at the Aldeburgh Festival. This I commissioned from John Woolrich to celebrate the lives of Terry and Kath, and our friendship and collaborations."
