Don't worry if you thought you'd missed the Fircroft Christmas exhibition - it's been extended for a week due to the snow!
Tucked away on Albury Heath, Frank and Christine Taylor host this annual exhibition showing the work of many well-known (and some undiscovered) creative bods featuring ceramics, sculpture, jewellery, glass and of course, paintings.
Frank is a painter himself and his paintings are wonderfully colourful and quirky, his distinctive style portraying fishing boats, jazz musicians, Moroccan sky lines and a daily scene in a cafe.
In the exhibition he gathers together some of his favourite friends and creative contacts and fills this wonderful house with artisitic splendour and festive delights. Hmmm - was that the smell of mulled wine that wafted past as I opened the huge front door?! Indeed it was and inside the merry chatter of friends and new visitors to the legendary Fircroft exhibition made me glad I'd made the effort to get there.
Details - Open daily until Sunday December 12th, 11am to 5pm. Fircroft, off New Road, Albury heath, GU5 9DD. Tel 01483 202333. www.fircroft.info
