Gosh its been a while hasn't
it? I hope your'e all ok and are having a good summer. We're just
back from a rollicking few days away with a jolly good friend and fellow artist, christopherrichards,
his work is quite magical!
Taking bikes away with us we went on some wonderful adventures! Using an app that is
supposed to work out a suitable route depending whether one is on a road or mountain bike etc. We were
following it's instructions across increasingly unpredictable terrain, through a slurry soaked field, along
the top of a cliff, down a road clearly marked as private, then along what started as a track through a woods and ended
up in becoming an impenetrable thicket!
Carrying the bikes over a large fallen tree, through brambles and finally over a kissing gate! With nettles and
ferns wrapped around our gears we emerged at the coast covered head to toe in mud! Whilst locking up the bikes to spend
a while on the beach a cyclist came over and asked how we had come from the footpath we had just staggered out of. He
looked impressed like we were the most hardcore of off-roaders!
We returned to the campsite via a different route!
Above 'Procne' flies a last flitting dance of summer.
So back to
business! We are delighted to
announce our first Saturdays open studio is back and this time open Sunday too!
