Crab Apple - Bottle C5, 18th June 2011

We have just returned from Richard and Linda's full of food. It has been a wonderful day, mostly spent travelling around North Yorkshire with my parents looking at art. This weekend was part of the North Yorkshire Open Studios event where artists, as the name suggests, open their studios for members of the public to take a gander. There was a huge range of stuff: jewellery, stained glass, chicken-wire animals, ceramics, story boxes, etchings as well as regular paint on canvas. All of it had some merit, and most of it had lots. We came away with a print by Hester Cox of a hare amongst honesty and, randomly, a large tub of asparagus.

This is similar to the one we bought

The evening meal at Richard and Linda's was - as always - fabulous and Richard - as nearly always - said nice things about the wine.
