há festa na aldeia - party in the village

A aldeia esteve em festa estes últimos dias, e ontém foi o dia principal: Santo António de Lisboa. Festa à noite no arraial com direito a bandas de música, pipocas e farturas, fogo de artíficio. Uma bela noite!

The village has been celebrating these last days, and yesterday was the main event: Saint Anthony of Lisbon. Party including music bands, popcorn and sweets, fireworks. A lovely evening!

Várias pinturas e desenhos do Stanley Spencer estão incluidos num leilao na Sothebys nos próximos dias (a colecção Evil/Frost). É um pintor fantástico, e várias pinturas geniais estão incluidas nesta colecção. Aqui ficam apenas 3 (a minha preferida é a "Sunflower and dog worship"). A colecção inlclui ainda Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore, e Lucian Freud (dois belos desenhos dos anos 40) entre muitos outros.
