This bank holiday weekend we repaired to Brighton to do as little as possible...it's not something we're very good at, but at least we try. This month is Festival month, so there's plenty to see and do, but we managed to continue my track record of not actually seeing any festival events. Which is odd, because as you know we love theatre...I'm not sure why The Brighton Festival never gets our attention. At the same time it is Open House, where the very many artists in and around the City open their houses so that you can see and buy their cleverness. We went round looking at a lot...to see the art, as well as to sate our nosiness about our neighbours' properties. We ended up at Roedean, which is celebrating 100 years of it's art studio. they have had some talented people there including Enid Marx, whose second cousin thrice removed you may be more familiar with. She also taught the designer of the cover for The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...you'll have to look that one up! Although really you ought to know. Also a more recent pupil who has won an MBE for shoe design...and is the grand-daughter of one of the Chinese Revolution's leaders...sorry I didn't catch the names. Evidently English boarding schools are very, very popular with wealthy foreigners from developing countries...so there is a good chance Britain's place in the world is safe for a generation or two yet.
And back to my pictures:
