Yesterdays blog.

I did post yesterday.  Which some of you saw and commented on, thank you.  In the light of day this morning I deleted the post.  I feel very strongly about the Lighthouse Museum.  But it is a personal thing.  Best kept out of the public domain.

Today the DP and I were at a meeting of the Fraserburgh Art Group.  Our Annual exhibition is in October this year.  Our face book page is 'Fraserburgh Art Summer Exhibition' FASE, but last year we had it in October, Tattie fortnight.  When the schools in this area have two weeks off, when in the olden days the kids would be herded out into the fields to pick potatoes, tatties.  No longer are they herded out but they still get two weeks off school, so up here a very short February half term to balance out.  October was very successful for us.  So this year we are doing it again - in October.

The other success, last year,  was the Community Challenge.  We had so much bunting with pictures, painted and photographed of 'My Town' totally amazing.  Schools, Community Groups and individuals all contributed.

This year the challenge is, 'Fraserburgh Flyers.'  Butterflies, Sea birds, Garden Birds, Pterodactyls!!  These images will be hung from ceilings, balcony and stairs of Dalrymple Hall.


Dalrymple Hall viewed from the Harbour.


This is the other side.  Its full title is Dalrymple Hall and Arts Centre.  

Fascinating history.  Donated to the town.  It has had the Beatles. A flourishing cafe, sadly no longer.  Three Art groups meet through the week.  Fraserburgh Junior Arts perform a Summer Show, Annual Panto, various cinema projections - all just released films.  Annual Flower Show.  Dance lessons.  And us.  Buzzing.

After the meeting the DP and I drove down to the prom.  It was freezing cold and very windy.  I stayed in the car.  He went off to photograph the new doings at the Kids playpark.


Wowee.


Oystercatchers, of course.


And a dog heading for Australia.
