Still sorting out the garden and studio. Taken a load of old metal 

to the scrap dealer in Poole. It would have been ideal for a sculptor 

making scrap sculpture, but it was in my way. 

Private View this evening at the beautiful new Gallery on Queen Mother’s Square, Poundbury, Dorchester, with artists Claire Hinks, Nina Squire and others. My husband bought 2 beautiful glass baubles from the English Bauble Company. 

sorting out the garden for the Dorset Art Weeks exhibition. Additionally we will also have our Garden OPEN on the 2. June, when 9 gardens in Corfe Castle will open for the Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. 

went to the opening of the new Gallery at 41, East Street, Corfe Castle. Nice selection of work including local painters Tony Kerrins, Judy Tate, John Bowen and sculptors Moira Purver and Sue Lansbury. Great addition to the art landscape of Purbeck. 

Cleaned my studio today for the Dorset Art Weeks event 26 May to 10 June 2012.

Another Olympic Training day. But had time to visit the little known G.F. Watts Memorial Garden of Heroic Self Sacrifice for people who lost their lives saving others. It’s done in lovely Doulton Lambeth tiles and a pity, it hadn’t been kept up. You find it  tucked away between St. Paul’s Cathedral and the London Museum in Postman’s Park.

From a crack in a rock

a river springs

and sings it’s way

to the ocean.
