The park in question on my walk this week is Stratford Park in Stroud, England. I’d driven up there to see a friend’s exhibition of knotted tapestries – Anne Jackson in the Museum in the Park.

All the classic features of a British urban/suburban park were thereContinue reading
My walk this week is around Bath in the south west of England – a town famous for its Roman baths and spas and also for its place in literature, specifically the wonderful classic books of Jane Austen – see here.
I was in Bath was to go see the Tapestry: Here and Now exhibition at the Holburne Museum and attend tapestry weaving symposium held there – The Narrative of Tapestry. The view above is from the museum looking down Great Pulteney Street. Continue reading

Judging from the collection of images I had to choose from for this weeks posts, I suspect I didn’t go out specifically to take photos, but I must have had my camera with me. Continue reading

There may be some evidence of this lacking in some of the photos I took but the soundscape tells another story.
