This has been the first week of Purbeck Arts Week, well it is two weeks and is now called a festival as there are many other events that are taking place beside the Open Studios of Purbeck Artists. Last week I took the opportunity to go to several events including a talk by Pennie Denton about the sculptress Mary Spencer Watson. Mary had lived and worked in Swanage area until her death a few years ago. After the talk there was a showing of the film Isadora Duncan which had Vanessa Redgrave starring.
I also visited a fascinating project of animation by The Gaslight Group led by animator Katy Shepherd at Rempstone. Her work will be shown May 28th to 30th and 4th and 5th June. There is so much to do and see it is hard to choose where to go!
The campsite is looking good. The goldfinches have really taken to the recent feeders and are around in abundance. The 'Herbs on the Terrace' are coming along very well too.
It is a busy week everywhere in Purbeck and the weather is not bad at all, windy but promises to get even better in the week.
