What a day.
A temperature above 12 degrees. No rain. No clouds. It was the first good day
of the season. Kicking off with a group of students from the Netherlands. Heated
faces from a long walk to our site. Turns out their teachers didn’t feel like
renting a bus or taking the tram. Delighted faces when they finally arrived. They
all went off on their own, discovering the works of Patrick Scott and all the
other artists. Even though modern art should be popular with teachers nowadays, I heard some of them
mention that modern art isn’t really art. Luckily one of the other visitors did
appreciate our works, and told the students to get off. However, after an hour I heard some different
views: “this is actually kinda cool”. That sounds better. After a fruitful
visit, the students continued their journey, walking in the wrong direction. I
hope they got to the centre of Dublin after all.
The rest of
the day turned out to be like any other Saturday. Interesting visitors, smart
questions and many happy faces.
