Free entry to all, this lovely little art gallery has really done itself proud, with artists from across the area and age range. Well worth a visit.

More  info at desk on Tuesdays.

The Art Appreciation trip to Cambridge was a triptych of art styles from stained-glass in Ely Cathedral to a wonderful private art collection of the most diverse items ever under one roof (Kettle Yard), with a pinch of nostalgia in between at David Parr House.

The hotel was excellent, Don Fraser coach driver a star and we all seemed to get something from our visit, even the none artistic, who just came along for the ride.

Some brave souls took a punt on a Punt on the River Cam. They might as well have taken a dip in the river as it was so wet, but in true British Bulldog spirit they sang along the way, much to the amusement of the poor drenched  student punters.

One of our group was revisiting her childhood home and told us about her wonderful memories.

We are all looking forward to ‘Our Next Big Adventure’ hopefully in drier weather.

Take care all – Maureen
