I left for Truro around 4:30. The drive took just under an hour. I’d taken a friend with me – conversation always shortens the trip. We had time for coffee (and a sliver of peanutbutter cream pie – yum!) before Christene Sandeson, the person with whom I’m sharing the gallery space for July/August at NovelTea Cafe, arrived.

We got work straight away – each of us laid out the work we’d brought, tentatively placed it on the various display shelves then moved pieces around to better balance size and colour against one another and against the background walls. Didn’t take long – we were finished in less than 45 minutes.

Without discussion we intermingled our work – it just seemed to look better with Christene’s and my pieces side by each rather than trying to cluster each of us separately. We were both happy with how the final hanging looked.

We’ll meet again at the end of August when we arrive to take down the art. Perhaps we’ll make time then to have coffee or a meal together!
