I couldn't have judged it more wrong...perhaps it has improved since then, perhaps in age I appreciate different things, whatever the reason, I thoroughly enjoyed it today.
It had everything we love about an Art gallery.
:: Kids activities - MJ made a sculpture which began as scaffolding and then became a snowboarding ramp! In order for him to leave it behind (it was 10am and we had a day of walking, buses and trains in front of us, so there was no way I was carrying it around) we told him that they would like to display it in the gallery with the other sculptures!!!
:: Good cafe supplying coffee and cakes.
:: Interesting exhibitions - The Turner exhibition allows you to take part in copying some of his drawings. MJ and M had a go.
- MJ and I loved looking at James Stirling's Architectural models and I even tried to explain to him what a 'drawing in section' was...at which point he ran away and I got the point that I was going on about architecture far to much to a 3 yr old! It did bring me back to pre-children days and made me momentarily long for a drawing board, craft knife and white card.
:: A fun shop - There were so many excellent children's books. I wanted to buy them all. MJ choose a robot badge which I have promised him we will try and make. Watch this space!
Now I am fighting with the network to get my photos uploaded while making a third cushion for the lounge...the same cushions that I first thought about replacing this time last year...I can't believe it has taken this long to sew up a few squares!
