After a leisurely start to the day, we went off to Bristol to see an Open Studio event by Carol Peace, a local artist and sculptor whose work we really like. This was at Paintworks - getting there and back involved dodging traffic jams, worse than the usual Bristol tangle.

The three pieces in the foreground are "Sitting", "Lying" and "Reading"
There was a whole series of these seated figures
Recently Carol has experimented with smoother curves in her figures...
Close up and glistening
More seated figures
One of my favourites

Carol's Dad, trying not to be in shot with the lovely swimmer statue
The Diner just up the road, which was shut today. We had lunch in the Boca Bar instead - Su had breaded goat's cheese, and I had smoked chicken and pickled papaya - a first for my taste buds!
Leaving Bristol, we passed these modestly coloured shops
A milestone on Su's car clock - pity it's not in binary (it would be just 42!)
A cake we saw in Keynsham, where we stopped off on a vain quest to buy some shoes.
The exhibition looks great. I'm off to Bristol tomorrow so I might take a look. Thanks.
