Art in the mountains

My former manager Tania is now retired and living in the Blue Mountains, and keeping very busy. One of her activities is art ― specifically working in pastels. She was exhibiting two of her works, based on a trip to Africa, at the Braemar Gallery, so we went to look at the exhibition.

As well as Tania's, there were a number of other works that we liked ― Graham liked a quilt with stylised chickens, while I liked a still life of pears, and an abstract photograph/drawing/painting representing rock strata. There was also a pottery casserole that we both found attractive.

We stayed the night in Tania's studio cum granny flat, and she gave us delicious pesto made from home-grown basil for dinner.

In the morning we went for a stroll round the town, bought some Blackheath Bakery pies to take home for lunch, then paid a quick visit to the gallery for one last look. Then we headed home, and Louka slept the whole way. She's still asleep now!
