Completing the final touches to the new garage gallery exhibition ‘Animal Magic’ not the only magic in Bridgy gallery, what with the fairy lights, purple snowflake shadows and the jaunty Robin in the gallery Christmas window, a painting by local artist Nicky Farrell, the Scottie dogs in the snow by Eliza bring winter fun and a still life by Sue Mortimer has a lovely shiny metal tea pot with an orange which reflects back Christmas past when my Great Granny would always give me an orange a precious gift full of vitamin C lovely and juicy, today these treats are common place but I would eat mine by an open fire and enjoy the smell of the rind burning on the coals and watch the shapes created in the fire.

Well the Rockin Robin in the window soon caught someone’s eye and he has flown the gallery to a new home for Christmas, I am looking forward to a few days of Christmas refreshment and relaxation then Bang we will be in a whole New Year. Looking forward to continuing the exciting journey, meeting new people, collaborating on various projects and extending the facilities to the community, a new sign, building the app Round Bridgwater and starting phase two of the refurbishment Sculpture garden and long gallery.

Looking forward to longer, lighter, warmer days and your company at the gallery.

Happy Christmas
