hols!

After what seems like a very long, hard year, the school hols have finally arrived! I'm sure the children need a break as much as the teachers- they've worked really hard and deserve a rest.
Saying that, some of us are off to London to round the year off. Tomorrow a group of Gifted and Talented (in art and drama) youngsters hit the city to 'do' the galleries, the Globe and take in a couple of shows - Warhorse and The Railway Children. We'll be having workshops with experienced practitioners and taking in some of the more cultural sights.
Off to pack!

a night at the museum

Into town last night for a mooch around the museums, galleries and other exhibition spaces. It was a special town-wide event that saw the streets thronged. The venues stayed open until early in the morning, though I flagged long before that! Found some little galleries that I previously hadn't known about. No pics 'cos I forgot the camera (doh!), though in some cases the work on show wasn't to my taste or liking! Beer/wine and plenty of food stalls made for a convivial atmosphere. The main churches offered organ recitals and the chance to rest weary pegs. Thoroughly enjoyable - shame it appears to be only an annual event.

Have now sold out of the first edition of 'A is for Art' (all 4 copies) and will have to reprint!!
UPDATE - printed and ready to send!!
