It was great to see a good crowd of artists at Ian's Pastel/Water-colour group at Hastings Library mezzanine Floor today, (Thursday 27th March 2025).
I hadn't realised that it was also a "Bring and Share" event with figs, pears, apples, spring onions etc. etc. changing hands between keen gardeners. I was delighted with my cucumber, thanks Marge...
Lots of fun and laughter and huge interest in what others are creating artistically at this time.
