Did our 4th day this week,things are starting to come together.
It as about an hour and a half to two hours drive each way. We have been getting really tired of driving it because there have been so many road works. One town we drive through is Sedgley and its traffic is usually really snared up, so we have been thinking of routes to avoid it but cant find any. Last night, we found out that Alex's Grandma lived there as a child, around 1910. So today we saw it in a new light, maybe thats why we couldn't avoid it.
There were two significant happenings on todays journey:
1) i am sure i saw a ghost, at a junction, i looked over the road and saw a woman, wearing a sage coat, white hair, moving quite fast, then it appeared to change like a transition on a video and she dissappeared, i looked all around but there was nowhere she could have gone. I got the shudders and goosepimples. The Stourbridge Specter had spooked me.
2)We saw a burnt out tractor on the back of lorry, it was the image of rural decline. it conjured Images of a mad farmer setting it alight in pure desperation at the state of the industry, or of a couple of vigilantes or townies burning it down during a vandalism spree in the countryside.
Absolute inspiration. We wish we had turned around and tried to find out where it was going or had a decent camera to take a picture of it. We both said at the same time that we would love to put it in a gallery just as it was. But like our split village hall, it just isn't possible. The art world is so future planned that it is impossible to just rescue a large object and use it. Unless you have a big bit of space or are extremely well connected.
We got the cushions back from being fixed, plus we picked up the covers- put that together but we need to make adjustments after the tea party.
Fixed the interior walls, Mike, the technician, made us a window box.
Getting loads of ideas for works.
