mo 31 Aug 2020	Artdog's outdoor show in Easton over the weekend seemed unlikely with the persistent rain and wind. It made eminently more sense when we visited Sunday and found that the majority of pieces were metal animal sculptures by Iain Nutting.
sa 4 Jul 2020	♫ Today Saturday 4 July is US Independence Day but more importantly your local pub should re-open.

mo 16 Sep 2019	Over the weekend at Artdog's second Art in the Barn (the Barn is in Easton Farm Park) we were very taken with Zoë Rubens objet trouvé type pieces.

su 8 Jul 2018	♫ Magnificent weather for another brilliant Maverick producing some wonderful hats and for us the newbs on the Medicine Show stage perhaps the most rewarding, especially Banjo Jen. Our ears pricked at a very lateral keyboard solo from the Cordovas closing the Southern Sounds stage Saturday.. When we pointed out that the lead singer appeared to really fancy himself Rachael's friend asked for my long lens to get a better look and then said If I was that good looking I'd fancy myself. Sunday a very pleasant conversation with Alan Mutimer and we suggested that Hachfest might return in its original form Hacheston Music Day ... who knows?
