Tuesday - free holiday
Jan. 2nd, 2018 07:44 pmThe extra Scottish bank holiday, given I suppose because Hogmany is SUCH a piss up. Sowhy waste an extra day and so aquick dive to Edinburgh for the BP Portrait Exhibition and Turner in January.
The Portrait exhibition is as always a joy, many faces in many styles, all nteresting, many challenging and difficult,all beautiful whatever the style or age gender of sitter(s). It's a highpoint of January and I'mglad I made the effort this year.
I didn't see the Turner watercolours (only shown in January under te pale daylight conditions) as www.nationalgalleries.org/exhibition/ages-wonder-scotlands-art-1540-now ends on the 7th so was well worth a visit. actually worth many,but oneis better than none.
Pub lunch and visits to Waterstones to complete my collection of the new collectors reprints of the Moomins books. The physical books and covers are superb using the original covers and the boks are a joy that I'm sad to have missed in childhood and enriched to read now.
