The more perceptive of our visitors may have noticed that we two In Mates decided some time ago that Rusticana would require quality input of pics from photographers other than ourselves to offset some of our own work..... excepting of course, the expanding Aegyptican work Wazza does. It occurred to us that these ten Other Mates deserved to be more fully represented and that a new Galleria should be created to display them without fear or favour so as they may become renowned wherever Rusticana appears anywhere on the planet. (Heady stuff, this prose). Our new Galleria should be regarded as a sort of moving feast as our first images will come from their dodgy pasts and new material will appear from future photojournalistic soirees. No effort will be spared as we cast around for any past and hopefully compromising images in which our three ladies and seven gentlemen appear. Don't be surprised if many images will have the blessed Oaks Hotel as a background for countless lunches have been celebrated under the famous and huge Oak tree....... and there will be more, you can count on that.

It is also our intention to invite other Best Mates to join the flock. They may not be photographers, simply special people in our view with a tale to tell. What ever happens we and thee will be having fun.....Welcome to the Best of Other Mates

Go to the yellow tile for pics of our latest lunch.
