We dreamed we were in the West Country, the Cotswolds - Somerset at the very least. Life seemed so arty and decorative yesterday afternoon at Newby Hall...
We visited The Museum of British Folklore in a small caravan, painted in the English Popular Art style - how kind of this organisation to venture North and bring funkiness to these bleak parts !
Inside were all manner of curiosities, magical and mysterious, like this Corn Baby.
A mummified cat and a symbolic hand.

As promised the Morris dance group Medusa Gothic entertained us with their energetic performance, waving the purple flag in celebration of mature ladies everywhere.
