Culture, innit!

I did manage a little culture today in a visit to our local gallery. South Square is just down in the village (Thornton) and it's an ace little place. The current exhibition is of some local images - the project focusing on the "snickets" - tiny paths between houses, fields, lanes, etc. that we have loads of round here - and where they do/don't/might lead to.

As well as regular exhibitions, there are artists' "spaces", weekly art workshops for kids and grown-ups (always meant to have a go ...) and other, well ... arty things - a picture framer, good quality crafts - cool jewellery, etc. and the wonderful cafe where I had a fab cuppa and cake this aft. :o) On Fridays evenings about once a month they have an opening night for the latest exhibition: you can get a stonking 3-course meal for about a tenner, and can even take along your own wine. It's really chilled and friendly, not at all arty-farty-snotty; you could rock up in scruffy doggy clothes and no-one would bat an eyelid. Must get back into going more often.
