Read any good books lately?

We went to Cheltenham today to meet friends. We started with coffee at Nero then had a very good lunch at Bill's on Regent Street. After lunch we had a little walk down Regent Street and Promenade before catching the bus back to the park and ride.

I've seen this sculture outside of Waterston's quite a few times, but to my knowledge have never blipped though has been featured by fellow blipper woodpeckers .


The sculpture was initially part of a temporary exhibition of the work of Gloucestershire based artist Sophie Ryder at the Cheltenham Museum and Art Gallery and it was created in 1995. The overwhelming public response to the exhibition fuelled the campaign to retain one of Sophie Ryder’s sculptures and the Hare and Minotaur was acquired by public subscription in 1998.

Sophie Ryder’s work focuses on mythical creatures and hybrids, often hares combined with human features. Her most known piece is the Lady Hare, a hare with a female body, and this creation came about when she was looking for a companion for the minotaur.
