"Art Couture"

It was new to me, this Painswick open-air festival. Thank God for a fine day for once! We couldn't spend long there, as we were off to a charity picnic at Duntisbourne Abbots, but it was well worth the detour. All those little streets - normally you need to squeeze yourself against a Cotswold stone wall to avoid the oncoming traffic - were closed for the day. Performances took place on three stages. And the place was thronged with eccentric headwear, painted faces - and bodies!
