A favourite place that I long to visit again! A lovely post to read. The carved " Kettle's Yard" stone at the end, is the work of Gary Breeze, who used to be my neighbour and has created some remarkable work. He kindly made the house name plaque by my front door!
I absolutely love Kettles yard and have been a number of times when visiting our son. What is interest is that some things you mentioned I’ve never seen! But it is so lovely to be able to sit and sketch, or even just sit. I am sad that they are planning to start charging admission.
It's wonderful isn't it. We went at the beginning of February and had to pay £10 for our tickets but it was worth every penny, even though previous visits have been free
Thank you! Now that's a blast from the past (and a great compliment) - I had forgotten all about 'Letter from America' but I used to listen to it 35 years ago when I actually lived in America.

That is really interesting as I never knew who created the carving on the stone. That sounds as though you have a very special plaque!
Yes, it was lovely that he made it. He is hugely talented.
Brilliantly written - thank you - I love going there and would go every week if I had the time!
Thanks Vicky. Me too… just to sit and maybe sketch. It’s such a restful atmosphere.
I will have to add this to my visiting list!
You must Jane! It's an absolute gem
