Just to prove...

... that I'm not entirely obsessed with swimming and that I do, in fact, have other interests...  T and I went into the city last Friday to see the Peggy Guggenheim exhibition. Which was small but fabulous and gifted me an extremely surrealist dream that night.  I think this painting was responsible:

This painting may have also contributed:

So we also wandered around the new-ish Urban Orchard outside the Art Gallery, which has transformed a brutalist concrete space into a thriving productive edible garden.  It is all completely open and (surprisingly?) seems not to have been vandalised or damaged.





And the formerly bland concrete water feature nearby, is in the process of becoming a wetland.

Hats off to EPRA
