More culture!

New Pitsligo Visual Arts Exhibition. Two days of it, Saturday and Sunday. Lots more pictures than the Buchan Art Competition. Quite a lot that were in the Buchan Art Competition! Lots of visitors, more than the BAC. But this exhibition has been going for some more years.
We also enjoyed the coffee and cakes at the villages community run cafe, The Four Cs. Which I cant for the life of me remember what the 4 Cs stands for. New Pitsligo was one of the planned villages following the Highland Clearance, there are many in this are, including our own village of Longside. New Pitsligo was and still is famous for its lace making. And indeed there were lace makers on the stage in the village hall, tatting away, whilst we viewed the pictures and photographs. There is also an art club which I am thinking of joining...watch this space.
I came home, got out my sketch books, dashed off a drawing of an orchid, then put it all away again. Ho hum.
Tomorrow we have a full house of guests. I spent the morning cleaning, did the bedmaking yesterday, tomorrow morning just to set up the courtesy trays and fill the jars with my home made biscuits. Pecan and maple syrup ones this time round, made yesterday. Hoping they arrive at a convenient time for us as we have a duck race to attend in the afternoon. Hoping the river has not burst its banks like last time it was planned, and goes ahead. Or abill?
What is certain it will be wellies, hats and gloves as we have a strong wind a blowing. And our guests tomorrow are golfers!
