Bingo

I'm unlikely  to see owt at the book festival this year so I made a slight detour to my journey home from town at teatime, solely to make sure that I managed to get a photo of *that* statue to help complete my Festival Blip Bingo card. I was actually on my way to Assai Records on Grindlay Street where Kathryn Joseph was doing an in-store performance - terrific of course.

Earlier on there'd been art - a trip to the Modern Art Gallery with the whole family to see the Jenny Saville paintings, and then the Rembrandt show at the RSA, all in the name of hopefully providing some inspiration in portraiture for my two artistically-inclined girls.

Of course all of this culture was after a huge Toby Carvery lunch at a pub on the way out of town. That's just the way we roll....
