I regularly go to a watercolour course on Tuesday afternoons after doing my morning washing up duties at <a href="http://www.28ploughhill.co.uk/content/café" target="_blank">Caistor Arts and Heritage cafe</a>. A trip to <a href="https://www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Patchings</a> an art event was arranged by Mags the tutor, who not only did all the leg work but also drove the 12 seater minibus. I had the privileged seat next to the chaffeur as they collected me in Market Rasen.

The variety of art materials, artists, demonstrations and craft displays were amazing. Although I have to admit the first port of call was the cafe..... not only were hopes raised, but items were purchased until we were spent out.. The day was completed by attending a demonstrarion by <a href="http://annblockley.com/" target="_blank">Ann Blockley</a> of a watercolour landscape well forest scape really. Interesting that she does not have expensive brushes, prefers sable but few of them. A fascinating experience she was so self effacing seemingly nervous but so talented. A real artist having also published several books on the subject.

Mags drove us home all exhausted but well laden with purchases. I only wanted one brush but came back with a well stuffed bag full.
