Oooh La La! Linda!

Oooh La La! Linda!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The Pergamano Festivities wouldn’t be complete without a huge round of applause – nay, a standing ovation – for Linda Williams, that wonderful Welsh lady who just blows us away with her creativity and talent every single time. She has taught me so much! She shares her knowledge so willingly, so freely. I wonder how many thousands of parchers she has held by the hand and guided them through the art. She and I…

Still with us….

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. The Pergamano festivities are going very well indeed! So glad you’re joining in. I have been working on a silent movie this morning. It’s an epic.

Actually, I just flicked the overhead camera on while I was prepping for tomorrow’s Hochanda TV Premiere at 6pm! Remember those fabulous…

‘Twas the Night alright!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. And thank you so much for tuning in to HOCHANDA today, and flying the Clarity flag ! Sooo busy! I guess the Half -Price offer was too good to pass up? I know I needed a new set of the first five, because I’ve been using the same set since their inception, and they were looking a little bit “well loved”. Still worked fine, but were looking their age! Aren’t we all!! ANyway, once…

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, so let me open my little box of handy codes for living, my little tool box for making life more palatable, and perhaps one of them may resonate with you… Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff I can only speak for myself, but I have noticed that as things are getting increasingly more intense out there, my fuse is getting increasingly shorter, my tolerance levels are down, my anger levels…

Fly me to the moon…

Fly me to the moon…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. This morning, upon opening the curtains at 6am I spotted Venus shining brightly just below a fabulous crescent moon. Quite a spectacle. And then we saw mars too! Within minutes all were hidden behind clouds, but just for a short while Dave and I stood gazing out into the universe… So I thought for today’s blogs I would reach back into the past, and dig out one of my all time favourite pieces of…
