ONE habit I hope I never have to give up is praising Val Carter, Tom Hughes etc, namely the city centre team, for the wonderful day they gave artists and potters on Saturday, July 1.

The open air exhibition in Parliament Street was an absolute delight.

I speak as a participant, a member of York Art Society and Air Options. I'm sure all the visitors and residents in the city centre that day would agree with me. Thanks again to all who made it possible. Let's have more, please.
