Just spent a few days in Sailsbury went to the Museum on Tuesday as they had a kids event ( and I am the biggest kid I know ) helped the Lady set her stall up,and helped her supervise a bunch of children make shambles .Mine is two lolly sticks tied together, with a plastic pumpkin, two dried leaves a large red button and one glow in the dark bug dangling from it.
I had fun, and told her a few intresting bits about Terry and his books, recommened the Tiffany books for her children, and chatted with one other Mum who thought the books would be too scary for her children ( I said if she had read them Red riding hood or Hansel and Getel , Terry was funnier with more morals and a lot of cats )
Wednesday we went to the Museum to see the Terry Exibit, it is great, had one or two tearful moments, saw the reply Terry got from Tolkien as a kid, and loved every bit of it, from his desk, with cat hole, and the quotes and art work.
Loved the noisy note eating post box, and read a few of the notes pinned next to it from a few of the usual suspects! ( you know who you are! ) posted our own, and bought a print by Paul kidby of a gnome riding a squirrel.
Wednesday night we went back to see Paul Kidby do a talk about his work, he was very funny and warm, and has had quite an intresting career, from making false teeth, to graphic art on Umbongo juice cartons, and rice pudding tins, then he worked on front covers for early PC games and magazines, and how he became a Discworld artist was sheer fluke! ( he gave Terry some pencil sketches in a sighning que )
Came home yesterday , got a lot of laundry and some fond memories of the Cathedral and Terry, and the new sketches of his statue are impressive ( with added greebo! )
