Keep the faith

Several coach parties aside, the next few weeks at Renishaw are relatively quiet with the exception of the launch of Lorraine Botterill's sculpture exhibition in the gardens. The exhibition launches on Sunday 1st July with Lorraine doing demonstrations and talks about her work. for further information contact the office on 01246 432310.

A quick update for those who were informed by Adrian about 'Jar Gate', a package arrived today addressed to The Manageress, Gallery Cafe etc. etc., seems I've had a promotion as Adrian gave it to me to open. Inside were my jars along with an anonymous note saying the contents had been so nice and in such large proportions they had decided to finish them at home. No names no apologies. How very bizarre! This little act has restored my faith in human nature once more and I am again at one with the world.

Cheesecake this weeks is Rhubarb & Ginger and it's selling fast. It is a classic combination, the chutney I made earlier this season has flown out. I've a little more Rhubarb in the garden to go at so might make another batch.

On Monday we celebrated Adrian's 50th birthday with a little trip into Sheffield to see the Olympic torch followed by a few beers and a meal with friends. We were a merry party of 14 and it was lovely to meet up with some customers out for the experience too. We rarely venture into the big city but always bump into customers which is really lovely particularly in the depths of winter.

 Finally, my planned red, white and blue front garden has finally flowered, yes I know the jubilee is now a distant memory but here it is anyway.

Come and say hello, it would be lovely to see you.
