St Albans Festival 2010

Anjie Davison — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:35:16 -0500

we took advantage of two of the many St albans Festival events, Larks in the Parks and St Albans Alive! Sue and I had a lovely day on our craft stall at Larks in the Parks, it was like a village fete, and because it was local we knew lots of people to say hello and chat to. I just wonder if they will put it on next year, with all the expected local government cut backs, shame if they don't.Yesterday we went to St albans Alive!

Kubrick Exhibition in St Albans

Ashley and I went for a coffee this morning, to the Courtyard Cafe, but on the spare of the moment decided to pop into the Museum of St Albans, next door, to see 'Kubrick: A Film Makers Odyssey'. The exhibition celebrates the life and work of Stanley Kubrick, a resident of St Albans before his death in 1999. In the display are props from Stanley Kubrick’s films, screenplays, photographs and models made by University of Hertfordshire students (we particularly liked the models), and his awards, get up close to his Oscar and BAFTA.

I had to take this photo, the last of the windfalls on the garden table. As the temperature plummets I hope the birds take advantage of these apples.

On Saturday 5th December, it's the Aboyne Lodge School Christmas Fair. My children use to go to the school and for many years I was on the school committee (ALSA), helping to raise funds for the school. This year a friend and I have been invited to have a stall at the fair. We will be selling some of our crafts, knitted, sewn and crocheted. So if you're looking for gifts and decorations, something a little different at reasonable prices, and your in the area pop in.

The Courtyard Cafe, 11 Hatfield Road St Albans

On Wednesday morning I went to the Courtyard Cafe, with my friend Sue, it's located at 11 Hatfield Road, next to St Albans Museum. The cafe's decor is charming, right up my street, an eclectic mix of old and new. We had tea and coffee and home made cakes, beetroot and carrot. I must recommend it, it has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

I like this poster, very reminiscent of Edward McKnight Kauffer posters of St Albans in the 1920s

St Albans Sunset

I took these photographs yesterday from my garden as the sun went down over Batchwood. The colours were stunning, but sometimes I think we don't always appreciate what we have on our own doorstep.
