While everyone else was enjoying chocolate after 6 weeks abstention during Lent, I was loving the lack of space and all the washing up that comes with a houseful of family. We did the usual Sammie-walks and Cheshire Oaks trips and also saw "The Blind Side", the film for which Sandra Bullock recently won an Oscar.
Easter Day began with home-made-Sooze-made cheesy roundthings and then it was off to Liverpool, home of the lambananas.
Tate Liverpool's THIS IS SCULPTURE exhibition featured 133 works by artists including
the wonderful Giacometti...
Jasper Johns...
(we all liked this, it features the numbers 1 to 9, can you see them all?)
...as well as Picasso, Mondrian, Gilbert & George, Dali to name a few.
This piece is essentially a cube of mirrors with holes in but the effects are amazing and we had a lot of fun in it. So much so, we all vowed to have one in our house sometime.
Floor2 has a display of life size sculptures that reveal how the human body has been reinterpreted over the years but to counteract the notion that galleries are static spaces, the designers took the idea of a silent disco and visitors are invited to wear headphones and dance while looking at the exhibits. Yet more brilliant fun.
Time for a quick look around Liverpool One before home (It's so cheap walking round a shopping centre when it is closed!)
Nic and I realised how good for the bottom a game of squash is trying to climb these extra large steps YEOUCH!!
Bank Holiday Lunch at G.A.L. before Cub and Sooze caught the train home....
Afternoon kip?? This is why these wouldn't get an Oscar for their acting skills... (but it was a good lunch)
A great Easter weekend...
It was all too much for the pooch!
