Broadway




We had a really nice afternoon walking around Broadway just before Christmas. 
 

 
 
 
This old church has been converted into a design museum.
 

 

 
One of the many antique shops in the town
 
 

 

 
The Cotswold stone gives these houses their own particular character
 
 
 


and some of them are quite old so that the stone has mellowed




 
What makes Broadway unusual is the large number of art galleries
 

 
 
 
 
and some of them specialise in contemporary art which is rare in the Cotswolds.





My Gang II, Neil B. Helyard





Reclining Figure, 1980, Henry Moore.

I love Moore's drawings, so seeing this one was a real pleasure





The Farm, L.S. Lowry, (pencil on paper)





Entwined, Chris Webb, (stone)





Luna, Chris Webb, (bronze)

 



Eva, Chris Webb, (bronze)


 


We then moved on to John Noot Contemporary
 
 
 

 

Water Birds, Linda Warwick
 
 
 
 


Perfect symmetry





There are also some very nice gift shops here and we managed to do the last bits of Christmas shopping so we were very pleased about this unexpected outcome




 
When the sun hits the stone it takes on a golden glow
 

  

 
which is extremely attractive
