On Friday evening I went to the preview of Angie Lewin and Rob Ryan's exhibition at Cambridge Contemporary Art. It was a fun evening with lots of people viewing the fabulous work. In my head I spent a lot of money!!
I met Angie Lewin, it was interesting to talk to her - I know Kate Sullivan who works with Angie and Simon, Kate is the daughter of friends of mine. Also had a chat with Rob Ryan, an interesting character - meticulous cutting.
Day 3 of Offa's Dyke
This was a long day - 17 miles to our B and B beyond Pandy.
We walked through this Bulmer's cider orchard, lots of apples but they would taste awful of course!!
We had our picnic lunch at White Castle, an impressive ruin.
Stunning scenery all around and inspiration.
Our B and B didn't do evening meals and would drive you to a pub 1 or 2 miles away but you would have to walk back (in the dark, rural Welsh countryside) - surprisingly, another 1 or 2 miles didn't appeal so we had bought a salad that morning - not quite what you needed but tasty!! Also our room (up 39 steps!)! was designed for midgets. Beams everywhere, as you stepped over them in the floor you hit your head on the one in the ceiling! BUT there WAS a bath and the breakfast was good.
Day 4 will follow!
As someone who lives in the dark rural Welsh countryside I know why you opted not to do the nightime walk! It all sounds wonderful from the comfort of my sofa but if I had to walk this far I would be lagging far behind you I'm afraid. The exhibition opening sounds great. I would love to meet Angie Lewin as I really like her work. I bought her Plants and Places book last year and found it to be a lovely thing to read.
ReplyDeleteI managed to see the exhibition on Saturday and loved the prints. Enjoying following your walk from the comfort of my laptop!
