Amazing what you can photograph in the small town of New Hope, PA!! Gives a good glass of wine and the toast "bottoms up" a whole new meaning!
Our "Holiday" weekend was a mishmash of chores, painting and dare I say it - a bit more unpacking. We also browsed for a new car, which we badly need and then we finally managed to squeeze in a day of fun, where we tripped off to one of our old and favourite haunts - New Hope.
Much had changed since our last trip there - probably 2 years or so.
Whether it was the Holiday weekend traffic or what, the place just seemed noisy and over-done - am I getting old?
Lots of the favoured neat shops and galleries had disappeared, replaced by Tattoo parlours and places to get heaven knows what pierced. At least the Triumph pub and it's home brewed beers was still alive and kicking!
My studio is in dire need of some busy art person to come and make use of it! I have pretty much got it straight and all-together, but have neither the will nor the inspiration to do much. Probably because I am already making "Mother" lists of stuff to take to the boys, another for my mother, sister etc
Yup...I can smell the gum leaves from here...
19 days to blast OFF!
