I nearly caught up with my blog then it disappeared down a tunnel.
If we follow it upstairs we might end up at an event, but you will have to wait till next time to find out…
Have you any idea where you are?

Serene Sunday – Away With The Fairies
If you enjoyed yesterday’s stroll round Russell Cotes Museum it’s time to go to the gallery and look at the exhibition.
Look at some books or…
…or dress up as a fairy
No visit is complete without browsing in the gift shop. You could fill your house with Flower Fairies from post cards to a deck chair!
Did you have Flower Fairy books?
Saturday Stroll – Sea Scenes
If you have been here before you should guess where we are. A clue is my favourite house and I can always pretend I live here on a sunny day.
Who would not like a home with sea views?
Time to go inside
Step inside the poster…
Wander upstairs
Protective blinds mute the views, but add an artistic aspect perhaps?
Wandering around someone else’s house you never know who you are going to meet.
If you are still here tomorrow we can pop into the gallery and see the new exhibition. Here are a couple of clues.
Saturday Sunny Stroll
It’s unremittingly grey here at Chez Tidalscribe, but jump into the time machine back to last Saturday.
Jump out of your car and follow the path to the sea.
Don’t fall off the pier…
Do you dare to go up to the zip wire?
How is your Saturday going?
Sunday Salon – Photos at an Exhibition
This exhibition in the café area of Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum compliments the art exhibition I featured recently. The museum has just reopened after it’s annual dust and vacuum.
Wild Wednesday Walk
No words, just waves…

Monday Moments – An Exhibition
‘Artist as Witness: The Impact of War
25 October 2025 – 8 March 2026
This thought-provoking exhibition explores the importance of the artist as eyewitness, providing insights not only into warfare but also the impact of war on those involved and the communities affected. It includes artwork from the First and Second World War, as well as recent work by award-winning artist George Butler of the war in Ukraine.’
If you have returned after yesterday’s visit to the Russell Cotes Museum have a look round the gallery.

Are artists as important as ever in recording war?
Sunday Salon – Victorian Christmas
Perhaps you recall visiting here before? After a sunny winter walk along Bournemouth promenade we are invited in for coffee.
Skip lunch, it looks a bit filling.
Nice views
Which room has the best view?
Back downstairs to find the gallery…
Oh dear, it’s closing time. Come back tomorrow to have a look at the exhibition.

Bournemouth Pier
Pier Approach
Nobody wants to knock the elf off the shelf.
This way for more fun…
Elves on strike
Just time to dash across the road before a bus comes along.
Be careful, The Square ( that’s round ) is very slippery when wet. Now you can slip into the Alpine Bar.
