We drove out of the sun-drowsy village and it's daisy filled green and followed the narrow lanes to the Settle, it's larger but still village like neighbour. Settle has wonderfully tortuous lanes snaking through cottages perched on the sides of the hills. You have to squeeze through gaps originally designed for horse and cart between toll houses and tiny homes.
Suddenly after the almost claustrophobic jostle of housing, a little village green appeared hosting a huge tree, a telephone box, post box and bench. Himself grinned as he told us to go and visit the art gallery.
Art Gallery?
Where?

Here of course!
It is call The Gallery on the Green and has events and special guests exhibiting their art throughout the year. When we visited - all the art work was on the ceiling so we all got a crick in our necks as we craned up to look at the pictures.
So that you don't have to suffer the same affliction, here for your perusal is the ceiling in all its arty glory!

So we duly signed the visitors book and returned to the car having enjoyed the delightful unexpectedness of it all :)
Enjoy the rest of your day, with love hawthorn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteLove the telephone box housing the visitor's book
Amanda :-)
How unusual!
ReplyDeleteNo room for a tearoom obviously!
That is so cute; I wonder how often the exhibits are changed. Just a bit small to hold our next Yarnival in.....
ReplyDeleteGood idea though LL, it would be easy to completely yarn bomb! It is lovely to see the old phone boxes being used like that. There is a village that has a mini shop with honesty box in one and I have also read of a book exchanging library in one too.:>)xx
ReplyDeleteOh how cute is that? I think that is so quintessentially British--and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed! What a unique find! Love the art work! I tell my students art is everywhere...definitely true here! Hope you are having a wonderful week! Best, Vicki
