No, you are not drunken ... ! We stayed at our fav Bed & Breakfast place which is situated on a cliffy street. I took a fast pic before we went to the exhibition at the Bonded Warehouse in the early morning hours:
A little sneak peak into the "backyard":
The first visitors arrived when everybody was busy with the build-up:
One of the boats which is ready to take you for a canal cruise (with / without jazz music!) on Sundays:
After the exhibtion we enjoyed some leisure time at the Ruskin Glass Centre. These guys were just crazy ...
Such a body-control ... unbelievable ... and I held my breath while he was trying to reach the other side with this huge turning bowl in one of his hands:
Everybody was impressed ...
Especially when they showed up in front of you for an invitation ... *lol*
My fav place to relax and rest my eyes at the Ruskin Glass Centre ... and one of the most "energetic-pathes" I walked while looking for Bernd ...
... doing business:
... or bumping into Michael (a friend of ours!):
I love the old buildings in the courtyard ...
... where you can sit nearby the water ...
... or take a pic of maestro Gianni Toso (in the middle!) which has a 700-year-family-tradition in glass. His work is amazing ... and I was happy to be able to visit his lecture on Monday.
Another building on the left ... and the realization that I forgot to take a pic of the road & the building which led to the British Glass Biennale 2010 exhibition. Oh, well ... :) ... next time!
One of the glass galleries, the bell tower (for sleepy students!), the coffee shop where you could eat delicious food and take a peak at all the glassy things for the fun auction where they raise money for the upcoming International Festival of Glass in 2012:
Our beloved pub "The Robin Hood" we visited every evening to drink famous Batham's Ale and have some sale & vinegar crisps ... yummy ...!!!
Hope you enjoyed your trip for today ... CHEERS & BYE ... ♥
Pics were taken by Richard Downton during the exhibtion at the Bonded Warehouse in Stourbridge. So happy to have such a nice memory ...!
Anyway: I managed to open my ETSY store yesterday and might have some more beads, pics & stories soon. In the meantime some relaxed music for you & me ... and my beloved "funky-littlee-monkey-ass" (aka DH Bernd *lol*).
Enjoy ...!
The ground beneath my feet I know was made for me there is no any one place where I belong.
My spirit's meant to be free and soon now everyone will see life was made for us to be what we wanna be!
IT'S YOUR WORLD It's yours and yours and yours and what you see was not meant for me.
IT'S YOUR WORLD but you don't have to be lonely 'cause in your world you are truly free!
The thoughts that fill my mind are a very special kind because they're home to me and me alone.
And then i realize that we all have a home inside that was meant for us to be what we wanna be
IT'S YOUR WORLD It's yours and yours and yours and what you see was not meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD but you don't have to be lonely 'cause in your world --- you are truly free!
Music of life fills my soul music of love makes me feel whole as human history unfolds before my eyes.
My spirit's meant to be free and soon now everyone's will be. it's your right to be whatever you wanna be!
IT'S YOUR WORLD It's yours and yours and yours and what you see was not necessarily meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD but you don't have to be lonely 'cause in your world you are truly free!
IT'S YOUR WORLD It's yours and yours and yours and what you see it was not meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD but you don't have to be lonely 'cause in your world you are truly free!
(refrain) you are truly free to be what you wanna be you are truly free to be what you wanna be
you are truly free to be what you wanna be you are truly free to be what you wanna be
Everything started & ended with a warm hug from our "landlord" Jean. Bernd and me had such a fantastic time ... it's just unbelievable and feels like a dream.
During the exhibition I met many wonderful people. I was so impressed that lots of customers (even the ones I hadn't seen within the last two years but recognized at once ) showed up. "Thanks again, for taking the time to visit me and make me feel special. I loved the way you smiled while looking at my beads and enjoyed all the conversations!" ... ♥
