Wind spinning portraits

Our portraits were made double sided to show two portraits as the frame turned in the breeze…..what we did not anticipate was the hurricane force winds across the Teign valley!!

Plan B we recreated the portraits on a banner and displayed them that way……….

I Hear Here

A series of poems were created by the Get Changed participants – here is the war poem written by David and displayed next to our windmill

poppy memorial.
