I had an enjoyable visit to our local museum today, where my friend Tracy Spiers is completing a week's residency exploring the exhibits in order to create a children's book. Tracy has a special connection with the museum as her grandmother Kitty actually lived in the building as a girl. I found Tracy in the Kitchen area of the museum, busy sketching her tiny Kitty doll in different situations including turning the handle of the knife grinder .. I'm looking forward to following the adventures of Kitty and George as they explore the museum's many interesting artefacts and get into a few scrapes too! It's free to visit the museum and there are so many interesting things to see including items connected with the local area and people such as Laurie Lee, paintings by many local artists, archaeological finds, fans, household items from days gone by and there are regular special exhibitions.
