It's Been A Funny Old Week!!!!

We have had 76 people through the door this week and a lot of interest in a wide variety of work. Some people still don't realise however that when it says 'last one' it means 'last one'! I do try to make it clear to people that 'last one' means 'I can't get another' but this doesn't seem to help them in their decision making.

If everyone this week who seemed really keen had bought instead of going away to think about it then we would have had a fantastic week instead it has turned out to be frustrating!!!

Anyway ... moving on ... We have now got the castors fitted to our movable walls so we can at last move them!! Which means we can get on with planing the display of Philip Stuttards work for the focus week which starts Friday 9th from 5-7pm - champagne and nibbles will be in abundance!

I just hope people turn up as I forgot to put RSVP on the invitations, what an idiot!!! Fortunately people are already starting to confirm their attendance and so hopefully we will have a good turnout!

Unfortunately my daughter and her friends will not be in attendance to play live music as they have a prior engagement, maybe next time!!

With an extra day off we dragged the kids kicking and screaming to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield. The day started off damp and grey but eventually the sun shone through and the kids eventually enjoyed themselves!!

It got very busy but with 500 acres you were not on top of each other. It was a good day out however their map could do with some improvement as it wasn't clear which pathways were definite routes and which were merely mud tracks - information which could have been useful on a day like today! In the end we ignored the map and just went off to explore!

We saw a vast range of sculptures from small-ish to huge by many artists including Henry Moore, Nigel Hall, Anthony Caro, Barbara Hepworth and Antony Gormley creator of The Angel Of The North.

It started off wet this week, we have had lots of people in the gallery, not many sales and today the sun has shone whilst exploring the Sculpture Park. So as I say it has been a funny old week!!!
