The Armadale Project

During the whole time I’d been painting there had been a constant banter going on between Richard and David. After I’d finished I decided to join them, we talked about all manner of things: country of origin, family, jobs and especially cooking.  David had brought his daughter up single-handed where upon he learnt to cook good solid food, but always with a flourish.  He told me how he had introduced steak pudding and jam rolly-polly to his daughters friend.  She told her mum about it, who was very intrigued, so the next day he went around and cooked it for her parents.  He went on to talk about mushy peas at which point he promised to bring some around to the studio the next day for me to sample.

The bowling club is not just about bowling, it is also considered to be a social club.
