The completion of Hame

 On Saturday afternoon, Barry and I headed to the Museum for one final job. We packed up the student exhibition; collected the furniture we had used for the show and popped it in the van to come back to the cottage; we folded up the calico; and we took the words off the wall.

It always seems fitting that the words are the last to go. They are the first to go on, and they indicate the show will begin. As they come off and disappear they very firmly share the message that the show is over.

This is really just a series, and not even a sequence, of the disappearing...

You can see that the 'e' at the end is going to take some paint with it when it goes...

No matter how careful we are, there are the odd points of weakness on the wall and this spot will need patching and painting.

It was enjoyable, even if tinged with sadness.

Barry finished with the smaller sized text, and I was left to remove the title.

You can't really see here but my thumbnail is trying to lift the letter at the bottom.

And the final letter H is removed.

We were in such a rush to get to dinner, we didn't photograph the blank wall, but there is indeed a blank wall, and the show is over...

What a great delight it has been.
