knackered

busy weekend. K's mum's birthday yesterday, so we had K's brother, his wife, their two boys, K's sister, and K's aunt and uncle over from Portugal.


We've had a *lot* of very nice food.

Just uploading some photos now - we went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park today for a picnic. They've got an exhibition on by Peter Randall-Page, who does these amazing carved stone things, which are utterly brilliant and must take forever to do. There were two parts to it - outside you could touch the sculptures, but inside it was strictly no touching, no photos, no mobile phones, don't even *breathe* on them 'k?

ok, I made the last one up. But the 'no photography' thing makes me itch. Seriously - these things are HUGE blocks of carved stone. How are you going to damage them?

Photography steals their souls :-)

We've made that same comment about sculptures, usually in reference to Henry Moore's. There's definitely a disconnect between indoor and outdoor sculpture etiquette/rules. And yet the sculptures themselves are no less or more durable.
