The Margate charity shops have been busy today - Rondle, Ma and I spent a very happy few hours hunter gathering along the clothes rails.
Jeepers headed for Huddersfield this morn after a power breakfast at the Dalby Caf, following a quick walk for Jack Russell Harmer along the Turner beach. The image used for the Turner exhibition running at the moment was painted from my favourite dog-walking beach - bit of pedigree for Jack now he's reached the grand old age of 12 (or good as).
Jeepers was very struck by the Rodin The Kiss, which has been lurking in the window of the Turner gallery since January. It really is a genius bit of work. Enormous too. Even Baranarnaby enjoyed the exhibition (!)
Kept bumping into Dave from the jetski cafe - first at The Golden Curry (Margate's premier tandoor) then today at Milo's Cafe in the Old Town, plus baby James and partner Daniella. Mum had spotted him outside Rocker Bob's 2nd hand shop earlier in the week. He's invited the Fellowship to the Waterski Club sometime summerwards to keep the crowds amused.
Forces are gathering for Jane Barran-Pouleaupot's soiree next month, namely Barn on guitar and high tenor, Lulu on guitar and soulful voice, Regina on violin, Indomitable de Nordwall on tall tales, and Rupert de B on keys. I'm going to try and get something up to scratch on the old harp in time: Bluebell sallies forth for her inaugural voyage. Jeepers had a go whilst staying in London (3 blind mice and Ode to Joy) and has fallen for the sound as well; it is beautiful!
Managed to afford to treat my dear Mama to a very stylish jacket from the Pilgrims Hospice shop as we hunter gathered our way through the arvo. Ab fab (darling) would have been proud.
Grazie Monsieur Fayed and Monsieur Lacroix...!
