Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. It's dry and calm this morning. Not as cold as yesterday.

It was interesting in Cirencester yesterday. The 'parish church' is a cathedral! A beautiful building. I'been to Cirencester many times but I'd never been into it before. We had a lot of people looking at the display of artwork, only a small number of pictures on display, many people took a catalogue, which shows the full range of pictures on display. There are many by famous people, Miranda Hart, Peter Kay, Matt Lucas, Adam Henderson, to name but a few. 240 paintings in total. They will be auctioned on Ebay on November 20th to 30th. I will be at the hospice on the 30th, along with a lot of others fore the final sales, which we will see live, Then we will see if we can beat the £25000 we made last year.

Have a happy day everyone.

Your link goes to the eBay USA site, Boaty.

If anyone wants to take a look at what's on offer (when it's uploaded to the site, which hasn't happened yet) they might find eBay UK easier to use (if for no other reason than listings will be shown in sterling, rather than in dollars):
