You have to go outside to see the rainbow

and I did yesterday walking back from the supermarket.

I had a great trip to London but I find it too easy to slip into rut. I went to the library last week to do a spot of research and on the way up to the Fine Art library saw both a exhibition on Miffy and another on artist books.

I also picked up leafets on an exhibition about Ian Hamilton Finlay at the National Library of Scotland which I had no idea was on.

A leaflet on the Scottish Basket Makers Circle !

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

Yesterday I had a scone and coffee at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery cafe (their scones are magnificent) and went around an exhibit of new acquisitions including phographs of China in the early part of the 20th centuary. The tutor to the last Emperor of China was Scottish or had many Scottish connections.
