What a load of Rollocks!

What a load of Rollocks!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Back home again, and back at it. Just sat with Dave at the kitchen table and figured out a strategy. Apparently, it has gone mad at work. That little TV stint I did a week ago, with the Petite Printing Plates and our new Petite Stencils, has evidently hit a chord ! Thank you for your custom and your loyalty. Where would we be without you?! It’s a funny old world, isn’t it? This time last…

Brits Abroad….

Brits Abroad….

Hi there… Thanks for joining us in New York! What a city! Despite the rain, we had a fabulous day yesterday. Met Grace for Brunch at the Highline Ballroom (will blog more about that later in the week. It was wonderful) Then we walked all along the Highline,  which is a walkway – a linear park – above the city in the Hell’s Kitchen area. Trains used to run up there and they were going to pull it down,  but…

Busy New York….

Hi there!! Welcome to Busy New York!  Another day of walking walking walking. Same distance as the day before, but in the other direction! You do see the sights when you pound the pavements, don’t you! Here’s a new idea. A city coach tour, where you sit sideways  and stop to listen to musicians and entertainers who are strategically placed around town. Here we saw an Opera Singer and a Sax player. I photo-bombed them so I could show you…

Hi there! Welcome to New York. What a city! Day 1 and the skies are blue. Paul and I were up at the crack of sparrows –  jetlag combined with excitement – Shall we walk to the Freedom Tower? asks I. Sure, says Paul.  On a sunny day like today, it’s the perfect way to see the city. And so we did. One step at a time. Through Times Square,  We cut through the flower district to 6th, because it…

Kinky Boots on Broadway!

Kinky Boots on Broadway!

Hiya! Greetings from the BIG APPLE! It’s great to be back. Talk about the city that never sleeps! We had a monkey of a time getting through JFK customs and passport control last night. Two and a half hours in a very hot, crowded, tunnel-like corridor. No info, no help for the elderly, nothing. And all over the walls there were posters saying  WELCOME! BIEN VENIDA! WILLKOMMEN! Bloody useless springs to mind. Then we got accosted by a sleezy looking character…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Waiting for Paul and Dave to arrive, so we can go to the airport. NEW YORK HERE WE COME!!!! So rather than pace the kitchen or start cleaning, I thought I’d chat to you for a while and even get a blue blog out of the weekend’s archives! The Gel Petites launch went so well! I am really chuffed that it hit a chord with so many of you. Seriously, such a simple product!…

One day at a time. One thing at a time.

One day at a time. One thing at a time.

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny day here in the south of England. The leafy lanes of Kent and Sussex are a wondrous thing  at this time of year. Mind you!  That pretty much goes for the whole of Britain  when the sun’s out! Wednesday’s blog, so it’s time to reflect on what’s what,  and get mindful. Just coming down from a marathon TV weekend. Seven hours of live TV is no mean feat, I can tell you!…

Hello there. Thanks for popping in. You like a little challenge, don’t you? Well, let’s see whether you can figure out how I made the card below, with the tree…. Not that easy, eh.

Kentucky Fried Chicken in a Paper bagggggg

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Just got to the hotel after a very full on day. Went very well, and I am looking forward to tomorrow. But I haven’t eaten yet, and it’s already gone 10. Then to add to my chaos, I had a right blast of blood to the head, when both BOTH Bank cards got rejected at the hotel reception. Talk about head goes straight to the disaster zone!!! But it’s fine. After a lovely chat…
