The Office at The White Hart Pub, Arundel Festival Monday & all the Paint Workshop Details
Good Morning from Arundel
The festival continues and always is a lot more
peaceful throughout the week.
It's a good time to walk the gallery trail.
Quieter, more time to reflect on the work.
Chat to the artists.
Enjoy the town, without the jostling.
I had some friends visit yesterday who had never been to Arundel.
You see it through new eyes, then.
We wandered around the town and
had some lunch at the
Riverside Cafe.
We were able to listen to the entertainment in Jubilee Gardens at the same time.
I felt as if I were on holiday.
That, and a glass of wine
with Nass & friends
sitting in the garden of
The White Hart Pub,
before coming home.
Have you been in there lately?
For years, the pub looked a little,
shall we say,
down at heel.
Recently taken over by
John and James Puttnam,
( who used to run The Eagle)
& Tim ( with apologies to Tim,
who Ive known you for years,
but never, have I known his surname)
Anyway, between them
they have done a wonderful job on the pub.
Turned it completely around
and now its quite the place to go.
Alan, their chef, creates
the most wonderful grub.
(Go and have a some
tapas,
one evening, it's heavenly)
Many of the Arundel locals meet there early evening.
Ha Ha,to the point Nass tells me he's going to
"The Office".
I hear quite a bit of business networking goes on,
but I suspect the attraction is more the beer and jovial company.

We've done it in a slightly different way.
These are the dates and if you want to come on a workshop,
dive in quick and let us know the date that suit you.
Tell us what course you would like to do.
That will be the allotted course for that day.
We realise every one is busy these days.
It's difficult trying to find time to turn around sometimes.
So, we thought it easier to say when we can do a course.
It doesnt matter to us which one we do, on which day.
BUT it will matter to you, if you short on time,
and trying to fit in a precious day.
Have a great day.
