I am a little late blogging about another trip to the cinema to see The Impossible, a film based on the true story of a Spanish family's experiences in the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004.It was beautifully filmed and acted and I thought it excellent avoided the temptation of wallowing in the horror but just got on and told the story honestly. 

On Friday I went with my daughter- in- law and little granddaughters to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.  I would  highly recommended this outing. As it was lunchtime we went to the very pleasant cafe which, while being child friendly, was also great for those without children.  After this we wandered the gallery, enjoying the sculptures which showed to great advantage in the light and airy exhibition spaces.  It is free to go to the gallery and I took great delight in watching the interest my 3 year old granddaughter took in talking about the exhibits.  We only stayed about an hour in the galleries so as not to put her off wanting to go again  but, for an adult, it deserves a much longer viewing!

I had a bit of fun yesterday planning and cutting a new quilt to celebrate the year 2012.  I found some marvellous fabrics depicting London scenes and also some I sent off for from the USA with pictures of athletes and gymnasts. I've chosen a very simple patchwork style as the fabric is very busy and I have deliberately avoided making it highly tasteful and muted with plain fabrics. I want the vibrancy of the Olympics to come through my work.
Will post a photo when it is done.
