Sunday, 4th June

Haven't been to Grizedale for ages, or so it seems so it felt really good to be back there again. Today seemed like a day for saying Goodbye to old friends as two of the art pieces we went to re-visit had been taken down. As they were both favourites I felt very sad, especially as one had been replaced with what looked like a couple of stuffed owls in a perspex box (apologies to the artist but I liked the Sitouter).

Climbed to the summit of Carron Crag and then went to take another look at Linda's piece. Actually sat in Linda's piece and had my photo taken. I had forgotten just how big it is. Apparently the powers that be wanted her to place the sculpture in a different place because they didn't think they would be able to get the pieces up there but Linda managed to get the help of some unfortunate (her word, not mine) art students to carry up the pieces in large sheets because Linda insisted (as any true artist should in my opinion) that it had to be placed just there. You can see why.
