Touchstones
We went to church today, and had a lovely community lunch to celebrate the ordination of our new OLM (Ordained Local Minister – a kind of voluntary vicar).
Then Evie and I went to Touchstones in Rochdale – it’s the local art gallery, and on the last sunday of the month, they have a family arty/crafty activity session. We’ve never been before, but I think we’ll definitely go again. Today we made a little pencil holder like a house, and a model of the first ever Co-op – because it all started in Rochdale you know! Evie did the colouring in and sticking, I was in charge of cutting out. Except that the co-op model was tricky!
Here’s our efforts!
After we’d made our models, we went for a look round the gallery. They had an exhibition of Victorian paintings there, and they have the origianal of ‘A Special Pleader’ by Charles Barber. You’re bound to know it, I’ve seen it in all kinds of places, in case you can’t see the link, it’s the little girl standing in a corner crying, with a collie looking on. Well, yes, I saw the original! i’ve not been to many art galleries (not really my kind of thing to be honest), but it was actually really cool to see the original of something that’s so famous.
