I never tire of the variety of artwork on show and although I don't necessarily "get it" it is always stimulating.

The Paul Rauschenberg exhibition was really interesting because it demonstrated his progress through art school using a variety of materials and processes. His was very experimental using prints, lithographs, screen printing and constructions using various materials that one might find in a scrapyard.

Needless to say we spent and enjoyable day cruising the galleries interrupted by cups of coffee and lunch.

And so the train back to Northampton and then eventually the two-hour drive home rolling onto the drive at 23.10, tired and happy.
