The Meat Eaters

Making an exhibition of themselves.

Last one in this triptych tonight.

As long as I can remember these opening nights have always coincided with one of the first of the warm evenings of summer and tonight's never wavered from that tradition. Ordering in and wolfing down half a chilli chicken take-away just before kick off probably wasn't the best decision of today either. People fidgeted, perspired and melted (some had to dash outside for fresh air) as they milled around the various rooms looking at a great range of work from some fantastically creative types. I'm looking forward to a more leisurely wander around the rooms when there's less of a crowd and less of a chance of heat exhaustion.

Absolutely knackered now but, as always, it's been a worthwhile slog. To this lot here, and all the others who busted a gut to put together their show, well done and I hope the hangovers are kind to you tomorrow.
