Apologies to The Tate Modern for taking a forbidden photograph at the ‘Panorama’ retrospective for Gerhard Richter. To be honest though I have never understood why a gallery would stop people from taking photographs at exhibitions. I think it’s an over reaction on the part of the galleries and an unrealistic fear of theft. And yes I totally understand that they rely on the sales form the shop and that you can use very good cameras these days and blah blah blah…

It was great fun taking part in the Clockwork Studios Open day again. This is Bridget Bailey and Otto doing the washing up on Sunday… Nice jacket and coat combination.

With absolutely no prompting my two good Irish friends Aengus and Colin starting hurling large rocks into Galway bay for their sons. Colin was in Galway and Aengus in the Burren on the opposite shore of Galway bay. It’s like some old Irish legend!

I couldn’t resist this when I saw him standing there. He didn’t say anything but I showed him anyway and asked if it was ok and he chuckled when he saw it, a great sport!

I like his pose juxtaposed with the heroic poster behind.
