It was lovely seeing some more friends, both old and new, coming to support the gallery. I missed some of today (busy conducting a new children's community choir!) but Pam held the fort and did a fantastic job being in charge- so thank you so much, Pam!
When I got back, it was wonderful to see everyone in the "cafe" (aka the garage)- it brought it all to life so vividly- and truly was living in a box! Modern living is all about being contained and enclosed- but somehow, having tea and cake in a garage, done up with retro fabrics and crockery, crepe paper and tea bag paper drapes, today, the male torso in an original England 1982 football shirt, the other mannequin coquettishly in pretty apron and panda T shirt (do not ask me why!) is so delightfully surreal, there is a Mad Hatter's Tea Party feeling to it- and my lack of sleep and continuing bombardment of ideas makes for a slightly lightheaded view of the world....

Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to read about our pop-up gallery in rural Gloucestershire! We'd love you to visit soon or if you'd like to exhibit, please contact us as we're taking bookings for 2014.
At every exhibition we serve teas & home made cakes in our 1970s caravan using retro china to take you back to the 1950s, 60s and 70s!
We serve our tea in tea pots so you can linger a while....
A beautiful view over the River Severn and Coaley Peak, gorgeous cakes & art-
what more could you ask for?
