YSP

It was my daughter’s birthday two days ago and she wanted her family and friends to visit the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with her to celebrate her birthday. I always enjoy my visits to the YSP. Monday felt like I was the one getting the treat.  It was nice to be together as a family and the work on display was fascinating. The sculptures of Jaume Plensa are extraordinary and the knitted work of Donna Wilson is fascinating. Well worth a visit.
All in all a wonderful day out.  Thank you Kathryn

Work of the Young Ones

I like the work of young children; it is so creative and unrestricted by the ‘norms’ that are expected of someone older. Their work is often almost abstract in its execution. This is another aspect that I like.
On Christmas day my five year old granddaughter presented my wife and myself with a picture that she had produced for us. It is our house and garden. My wife keeps our garden well stocked with flowers; my granddaughter has observed this and has added flowers to the garden. She has also added the greenhouse and the shed.  
I think this picture is wonderful, not just because my granddaughter has produced it but because, well I just like it.
