Local artists

There's a thriving arts community in the West Country. Three artists whose work I like are Alexandra Becker, painter, Jane Gibson, ceramicist, and Trevor Lillistone, ceramicist. I'll add Maxine Foster once the digitial photos on her website reflect more accurately the vibrancy of colour in her work, and I'm sure there are many others whose work I don't know--introduce me?

English weather

I was watching BBC Points West tonight, which is local news for the West Country (for you Americans, that's the west of England that's too far north of the coast to be quite southwest), and here was tomorrow's weather report, exactly as it was shown on the screen beside the weatherman.

TOMORROW

Absolutely
dreadful


There's honesty for you! Ha!
