This weekend is your last opportunity to see Max Naylorโ€™s extraordinary paintings in the Field System gallery. If youโ€™re in the southwest of England and feel your eyes deserve a reward, come along.

Weโ€™d head up onto Dartmoor. Any of the Tors would provide a fabulous setting.

We had one visit our kitchen earlier this week. Havenโ€™t seen one for years! Such a treat.

Treat yourself to a look at the horseshoes at Oakham Castle in Rutland. A quick search brings up loads of images, including the one below on luxuriousnomad.com. Itโ€™s a good place to visit, but a very long walk from here. Thereโ€™s also a bakery nearby selling pecan buns that MUST NOT be ignored.

This will be a lovely listen, guaranteed. MITW show here at Field System was among the most popular weโ€™ve had, plus heโ€™s a genuinely lovely man! Also, there arenโ€™t many artists whose life and work are so completely entwined - heโ€™s the real thing.

Beginning our Bluesky presence with images from our current show - Susan Kester, From the Pebblebeds. Intriguing, playful, curious, honest. Lots to enjoy and explore!
