Today at the Turnip House

We're open every Saturday and Sunday these days (and during the week, by appointment). 

St. Patrick's weekend was our busiest so far this year, great craic, lots of chat, and a 'full house' at times. It was brilliant.

The next weekend we were snowed in (or out!) and saw nobody. Easter was better, but the weather was still not great, and many  did not venture up to the wintry hills. Don't blame them.

Today was wonderful! lots of visitors from the off, a 'Happy Birthday' song and cake; old friends calling round to the Gallery, some for the first time;  - and a felt workshop with our great pals Caroline, Paul and Georgie.

Busy all day makes us happy bunnies. 

Going for a lie down now. 

But not until you've seen the amazing work created today!

Megaliths by Paul - stunning sky!

Another great day with 'The Turnips'. This is such a wonderful environment to forget about everyday stuff and reconnect with your creativity, and nature. And you get to take home something you made. (I am very pleased with my jewellery pouches). I notice John hasn't mentioned the birthday cake incident with Charlie, who, incidentally, struck that pose just as soon as the camera appeared! Thank you Turnips for your fabulous homemade grub, and your patient felt mentoring. Roll on spring and look forward to seeing you later in the year. Georgie x
