Bits and pieces

 Poking around Abbey Grounds in Cirencester we happened across a rather delicious wall of mosaic loveliness made up of all sorts of bits and pieces. It was designed by young people from various local schools to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the abbey founding back in 2018. I've picked out a few of our favourite panels. 







Hope you have a great weekend. We are off dancing our Sussex dragon story tomorrow at a local pub....yay at last a proper Morris dancing season unlike the washout of the last two years!

      I don't know why either. Mr GBT, with his love of stringed instruments, really liked it!

    I am a little confused about the guitar playing swan in the last picture.

    I love mosaic and fully intend to make one this year.. Tony would love to have a go at Morris dancing and very nearly went along to a group but then Covid hit.

      My friend Lovely Grey makes some lovely mosaics. She picks up all the pieces of broken china she finds up at the allotments so she can give them a second life.
