Pretty in Pink is an exhibition of photographs based within the city of Jaipur. Alex Stoneman
and Billy-Jay Starling are Bath based professional photographers who visited Jaipur during 2007 to document the life and character of the city. They chose the city due to its particular affection for the colour pink and the enigmatic history surrounding Jaipur. Alex Stoneman comments, “ The hospitality afforded us by the friendly locals was wonderful, but we didn’t realise just how pink Jaipur was until we arrived. Everything from saris and turbans to the lampposts and the loos are all decorated in with this vibrant colour!”

 Just to let you know that we now have some chickens!!! If you would like to go and see them they are temporarily being housed in one of the greenhouses behind stable. Soon they will be transferred to a coup built by Pete Cairn’s, our Works Manager, own fair hands.
Once they get settled and start laying eggs let me or Charlie Clements (Chicken manager) know and we may be able to sort you out with some.
A big thanks must go to Pete for organising this…hopefully they will be a welcomed addition to Rendcomb. It is hoped that this will give the boarders a chance to have a go at animal husbandry; a team has already been drawn to look after them….fingers crossed they do not fall foul of Fantastic Mr Fox!
