Well, madness overcame us this weekend. That, and a genuine desire to see something beautiful. I’d say we managed it…
The Blakeney CBP Group who we have been working with for some time now are currently holding their next painting exhibition and we decided to go and see it. We were a bit naughty as we didn’t tell them and just decided to turn up. Poor Chris, I think we gave her the shock of her life! Anyway, here is Claire with Chris at the wonderful Cley Marshes Visitor Centre once she had recovered a little:
We can thoroughly recommend you to go and see it – the exhibition is on until Wednesday 26th May 2021. If you’re nearby and fancy a dose of Chinese Brush painting culture please go – there is a wonderful selection of paintings and cards on offer, at very decent prices, from a thriving CBP group, in a fabulous location. There is also great coffee and cake to be had along with big skies which is what Norfolk does so well:
We were lucky enough to add extra culture to our stay too. One of the gems of the Norfolk Coast is a fabulous gallery at Glandford dedicated to Birds which I always drag Claire to if we are over that way. The range of artists and paintings that they have on show is always inspiring so here’s a shameless plug for The BIRDscapes Gallery whose website is linked here.
We are not going to pretend it was easy to find somewhere to stay – it was not. However, we managed to be COVID safe all weekend, thanks to excellent Norfolk hospitality, which was all we could hope for. And we managed to get away from the incessant rain for a short while:
A big thank you to the Blakeney CBP group for providing a well needed dose of spiritual uplift. It was wonderful to see you and your excellent work and we cannot wait to be back painting with you. Well done and keep on growing…
All best wishes,
Paul & Claire
