Hounds Tor and Hounds Tor Medieval village - Astonishing place, mighty chunks of rock with unbelievable presence. No wonder Conan Doyle was so inspired by it. The village, nestling in the shadow of the Tor, is such a peaceful and evocative place. And the prize for the snack sign of the week goes to...'Hound of the Basket Meals'
Lovely Lovely Exmouth - all that wide open space to feel free in, or at least to revel in the illusion of freedom in.
Marine House and Steam Gallery, Beer - Some fantastic art here. I'd love to go back wearing an invisible cloak and peruse both galleries at unselfconscious leisure.
BAD THINGS
Slipping bum first on a rock at Hounds Tor - definitely NOT recommended. Pain is NOT a good souvenir to bring back from your hols.
GOOD THINGS...
Finding 2 (tatty) Ward Lock Guides and a (tattier still) paperback of Robert Aickman's stories in the fantastic Sanctuary second hand book shop in Lyme Regis. What a wonderful place.
AND MORE BAD THINGS...
Losing my filling (for second time in 2 years, the last time was in September 2009 at Smoo Cave!)
BUT TO END ON A GOOD THING...
The Hepworth Museum in Wakefield - I really want to go there. It looked stupendous on tonight's Culture Show.
Tracey Emin - I've heard her interviewed twice today, once on Woman's Hour and then later again on the Culture Show. Whatever you think of her work you've got to admit the lady is genuinely passionate about her art. I do admire that.
FINALLY, BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE BAD (I'M NOT SURE WHERE) LIES...
Secret Dancer, work in progress...
And all kinds of new work in feotal progress...
