Brighton up your day
We went to Brighton for the day on Saturday and had a brilliant time - we went to see the open houses art trail… Now in its 28th year, the annual Artists’ Open Houses (AOH) Festival, which coincides with Brighton Festival, includes work by over 1,000 artists exhibiting in over 200 venues across Brighton, Hove, Saltdean, Rottingdean, Lewes, Newhaven and Ditchling. Spread over four weekends, there are plenty of properties to visit, an abundance of art to see and possibly buy, and countless opportunities to eat cake and drink tea. Aside from the natural intrigue of being allowed to snoop round other people’s houses, viewing an artist’s work in their own living room is a much more intimate and personal experience than observing it a gallery. Many of the houses are organised into trails to make it easier to organise your visit and take in as many as possible and entry is free.
office progressions…
We’re still not into the new office (there’s sooooooooooooooooooooo much still left to do!) - but are instead squeezed into a very tiny room for 2 people and a dog! Everyone’s looking forward to the move - we got a cheap sofa and added a pink cover, and got some pink and red geraniums for the sunny windows. It’s looking good!
sandy & smiley
We all had a great time away in Woolacombe at the weekend - five yeys!!
Office angel…
I now have my very own office angel!! ‘Welcome aboard’ to Lizzy who started at Alice Palace on Tuesday… I found this card (designed by Santoro) whilst queuing in the post office and got it for her - she wears the badge with pride!
a walkabout
On Monday we went to Cropthorne walkabout (open gardens) which was brilliant. All the gardens were very different - my favourite was Patty’s Farm garden because of the beautiful mix of colours…
a visit to Newbury
I went to Newbury on Sunday with El and Katie to visit Jan (who was lady birthday), John & Erin - it’s a lovely place and well worth a visit.
Tiddesley Wood adventure
On this very lovely sunny day, Jana and Harvey joined Jemima and myself for a bluebell walk in Tiddesley Wood - one of Worcestershire’s most ancient woodlands…
