Humiliating walk of shame back from Portencross with all our unsold paintings. Car boot sale anyone?

A jaunt down the coast to Portencross Castle. A great example of how tenacious locals saved a crumbling ancient monument when no public body would take it on. You can get inside and climb up to the roof area. Pay them a visit and stick something in their collection box if you can

Portencross Castle art exhibition and fundraiser this weekend. Put on my best beret and smuggled in a couple of amateur landscapes to see if I can hawk ‘em.

Admiration for the Fairlie community grower who clearly knows their onions when it comes to poppies 🤩
