Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been sat staring at the partition wall for the last half hour. You know, that glassy eyed stare, when Old man Time is telling you to call it a day… But then I refocussed, and looked at what was actually in front of me… So I took the time to kiss the photo, as you do, then checked to see who had made the crossword (clever Lynne Lee), and finally, read the wonderful poem….
Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is from the heart, right? So here goes…. I was dashing past the large windows of Waitrose in Crowborough this evening, and I just happened to see a woman trying to feed a very disabled young man in the restaurant. He was agitated and she was struggling. Boom. In that split moment, my world was right-sized again. All the inane, self-serving politicking about Brexit deal or no deal faded away, all the day’s…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Ticking lots of boxes here! Got loads of cool demos lined up. Feeling much more confident about the Hochanda TV marathon looming on the horizon. Paul is a star, and we have had a lovely day crafting together. Sounds much better than I’m worn out, been at it since 5am, still got a rake of prep to do before we can stop for the day. Back’s killing me, neck’s killing me, I’m starving hungry…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Last day of the Clarity retreats today. Whilst it will be nice to have a little lie in tomorrow morning, I shall miss spending time with all these wonderful people, watching them get to grips with new skills, seeing their sheer delight when they nail something. I’m not kidding. There’s nothing like it. Yesterday afternoon, for example. Day 2 in the afternoon, we always do Groovi. So we got on the virtual Groovi Bus…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I am quite liking this early morning start. No cars zooming past, just birds twittering in the garden… Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, sad to say farewell to a smashing bunch of friends and fellow crafters yesterday, after another cracking two days of creativity and conviviality. I thought it went well anyway! Looking forward to welcoming the 3rd group today. Looking at the guestlist, I would say it will be fab. And…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog comes from the heart, right? Waved farewell to such a smashing bunch of ladies yesterday, after a fab first two days. The artwork they produced yesterday was pretty exceptional, I must say. There’s nothing quite like it for me; watching their sheer delight when they create something excellent. Lots of Hi-5’s yesterday, lots of beaming faces. It was very, very gratifying. And there were so many newcomers to Clarity! Ladies who had…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! It’s Clarity Retreat Week here in Kent, and many, many of our loyal and lovely Clarity friends are here for a few days of learning, laughter and crafty creativity. We set up the room yesterday, in readiness. Paul and I went to the Wholesalers en route to the gig, to pick up coffee, tea, biscuits and all the gear for lunch… Then we started the set up. We are at Ditton, where we held…
