Solo Exhibition
I’ve been lucky to obtain hanging space for a small exhibition of 17 prints from 1st July for a month. If you’re around Saddleworth in July, do drop in at Sundae’s in the High Street, Uppermill, wander round the first floor exhibition and have a cup of coffee or one of their delicious ice cream sundaes. Update 13th August. Thank you to everyone who came to the Exhibition and made it such a success and to Sundae’s Cafe and Ice Cream Parlour for hosting the exhibition and extending the show by a further week.

Mannanan had raised his cloak for the occasion and allowed the sun to shine on us for a good part of our 4 day trip and I was able to take a few pictures in our time off from making visits…
