Mind you, there was an exhibition I wanted to see here in town, that I never got to see, despite being 50 metres from it many, many times. <br /><br />I know Sue, it is a shame. These day trips are so rushed, this one particularly so as the boys had to be home in time for the first episode of Doctor Who.

I like cats and I know she loved her cat, but it was too sad- perhaps that's why it won, such emotion?<br /><br />Yes Brona dragging boys around looking at art, isn't always easy is it? <br /><br />Diane- Hopefully he gets something out of it, not just a slide down the rail. <br /><br />Adventures often are different to what you expect though aren't they? I don't mind that. I did really want to see the exhibition.<br /><br />Thanks Melissa. It was long, and slow, deadly combination. <br /><br />Canberra does have a great cultural environment. So handy that all these galleries are lined up, we just walked between them.<br /><br />The exhibit has already finished Bonnie. I'll just have to look out for TL in Paris later in the year. <br /><br />Thanks Irene.<br /><br />Thanks Melwyk. We'd driven three hours, we had to do something. Sadly the TL exhibition has already finished.<br /><br />Paulita I don't think he has any ties to Australia. There was none mentioned in the small brochure we got- they would have mentioned it if there had been I'm sure. He died so young, and was quite poorly during his life, I can't imagine that he could have travelled all that much, and especially that far. <br /><br />I don't remember noticing a name Stacy. It should have one shouldn't it? <br /><br /><br />Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-59950137896699472942013-04-14T10:03:58.475+10:002013-04-14T10:03:58.475+10:00Ok, I'm guessing the orange spongey looking th...Ok, I'm guessing the orange spongey looking thing was some kind of statue?
