I went with G (in real life deceased) and the rest of the family to visit an art/museum exhibition. We were visiting it primarily on G’s recommendation, and because she had helped paint some of the pictures on show. We drove over to the site, which was outdoors and parked the car. From afar the site looked like the mitten rock formations in the States. I mentioned to G that I had seen something like this before at Mount Collins in Australia. A little closer up one could see that there were 3 or 4 large mounds with a circular panorama on top of each one.

G wanted to check how much the parking was as I think she wanted to use this spot next time when she went shopping. I felt to myself however that we were a long way from the shops for her to walk there. Maybe she was reconsidering coming back to visit again?

We went into the first panorama and it was divided into two. The first half was about the desert and cowboys. There were rich red and yellow colours painted across the entire circular wall. M was there already and was looking at the other half of the panorama wall which was about rain. The wall was a series of electronic displays, displaying water, ripples, rain, rain drops etc in mosaic pattern. It was very beautiful and mesmerising. After a while it seemed to slow down and M was disappointed – then the cycle of pictures commenced again and M was happy once more.

After a while it seemed as if the whole exhibition site was now indoors (it had somehow changed from being somewhere in Devon to a big museum. I remember finishing up and waiting around some doors in between the circular panoramas. I met HH and her daughter and son. As we were leaving we spoke some Chinese. The daughter did not feel very confident about speaking it, but when I offered my few phrases, it turned out she was very fluent. The son noticed from the top of the museum another Chinese girl was looking down at him, probably to catch his eye. I said she was very pretty and he thought so too. Except that her facial structure indicated she was of a different race and so he could not go out with her.

Everyone walked back to the car park to go home….
