Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

George Bernard Shaw
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Saturday at Gainsborough's House

Picture yourself here!
I am doing my monthly 'duty manager day' at Gainsborough's House today.  I really enjoy it.  The Museum is really buzzing at the moment!

As I write there is a life drawing class going on in the Hills Room, 'Artsmart' for children in the Print Workshop and some large brawny men are delivering 60 chairs for a concert in the exhibition gallery this evening.

At 3 o'clock we are expecting a newly married couple to come and have their photographs taken in the garden following their ceremony at the Registry Office just down the road.  This is a first for us and we would be very happy to encourage others to come along and do the same.  An appropriate donation is all that is required.

On Thursday I went to a 'Museum Muster' run by Suffolk County Council at Sutton Hoo.  It was very interesting to meet representatives from museums all over Suffolk, including the National Horseracing Museum and the Aldeburgh Town Museum.


We were told to expect a lot more visitors from the UK this year as many people are choosing to stay in England rather than venture abroad this year.  This would seem to be borne out by the number of bookings that we have for coach tours, all of whom will be welcomed with a talk and a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits in the Hills Room.

We don't just welcome groups from far away.  If you are a member of a local group that would like the 'full works' at reasonable cost do let me know.
