I had been waiting for this exhibition for over a year – and I wasn’t disappointed. British Folk Art Exhibition celebrated work covering every medium from textiles, metal, leather, paint to carved wood – some were 18th Century shop signs…. I was in heaven.

| Bootmakers sign |

| Bottle full of lace bobbins |
 |
| Cockerel made from Bone by French Napoleonic Prisoners of War |
 |
| Signage painted onto planks of wood |
 |
| Boody Mosaic from Northumberland |
 |
| Quilts made from Army uniforms and cottons |
The exhibition has now moved to Compton Verney where one of the largest collections of British Folk Art is held.
…Then it was off to the Tate Cafe for a well deserved coffee and cake (my brain was buzzing) – Oh, the Lemon and Clementine Tarte was tasty…. then home.
