We've had just a few sunny days this month, so it was great to go for a decent walk recently with W in pretty warm sunshine for November. Our usual meet up spot is on the Town Bridge; it's always an interesting view whilst waiting, further enhanced since late September by the latest mural courtesy of Public Art Chippenham.* This one's by Sophie Mess ( @sophiemess_ on Insta) who's noted for her vibrant botanical art and she doesn't disappoint in this instance. I'm glad to admit I made a small crowdfunder contribution to this one, especially now the mural's been revealed as the subject matter resonates with me and quite a lot of this blog's content. I'm pleased she's included the word Unity in her piece, which is a link to Chippenham's town motto, Unity and Loyalty. It's good to be reminded of it during these strange and relatively turbulent times. Next up is a competition for the next project: ideas for the decoration of the Open Reach ...
I think all this flooding is madness, I don't know what the best solution is, but something has to be done to lessen the extent of the damage which keeps being done. So I have been told, on another blog that the de-lurking week is a week to encourage people that read peoples' blogs to comment and make themselves known, instead of just lurking in the background. It does make sense really! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know Louise - what a good idea. I'm trying to stop lurking too at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble leaving a comment on your site though - will try again later, but just in case it's still not working, I think Parsnip crisps are yummy!
