Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Am having a wonderful day today. I knew it would be a good one, when I was still in bed at 10am, drinking tea and eating cashew nuts. Lying in and not feeling guilty is indicative of being able to switch off ! Well, as much as I – doomed workaholic – can! But there was a point this afternoon, when the noise in my head completely stopped. All the thoughts, forward planning and…
Hi there. Greetings from Glastonbury! Dave and I went up up up the hill to the Tor today. It was beautiful and breezy up there on the top of the world… But down here below, IT IS HOT! Looking forward to a little rain which is forecast for later. Maria was on TV today, with some spectacular and original artwork by our very talented Mel Turner. Earth, Fire and Water. Earth Fire Water EARTH, FIRE & WATER ELEMENTS + MASKSUnmounted…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hot, innit??? We walked into Glastonbury today, and boy! Was it sunny! We were all walking on the shady side of the street and scantily clad. Here we see one of the locals on his way to the office. not quite sure where he keeps his spare change… #Don’tlookEthel! Glastonbury is pretty, special and different. It’s the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year tomorrow. So people from all over the world have…
Hi there! Thanks for joining us on our adventures this week. This time last week, I was hanging out in a pretty swanky hotel in New York with Gracie. Today we set off for Glastonbury in our Festivan! Spent the morning packing and getting everything loaded in our little Glastowagon. I packed lots of lovely foody treats, and had a lovely meal lined up for this evening for us two little lovebirds: seared salmon and new potatoes under the stars. …
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a lovely sunny day it is! I’m waiting till it cools down before I pack the caravan ready for our road trip tomorrow. Thought I’d have a little inky session, a little down time, after all the excitement at the Open Days. How about using one of those fab new stencils which Mel designed? There are 5 in the set. You can get them individually, but they are all so lovely, it will be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. And if you came to the Open Days in Crowborough, THANKS AGAIN! It was pretty hot today, but us crafters are a hardy bunch, aren’t we? Dedicated to the cause and all that! And Boy! Do we like to shop! My demos started out fine. Plenty of stock; will last for days easily, thought I… WRONG! I was on outline stamps – all 5 sets – on canvases. Using Mod Podge as a glue…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. And thank you twice if you made it along to the Open Day today. Happy Friday in Crowborough! Here we see the hall just before 9am. Adding the finishing touches, tarting and fussing… An hour later, it was buzzing. The Team was set to entertain, and the guests were in high spirits. Visitors from all over the country! Even Alex from Hochanda got up at 4.30 am to get to the party. See…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mind the boxes everywhere! It’s a right old mess! Nearly set for the celebrations here. The van is going to be loaded downstairs in a while and then we shall let the games begin! I think we’re as ready as we’ll ever be for the Clarity Open Days down here at the Community Centre in Crowborough. I just have to go buy some new black cloth, because what we have looks really rancid. Years of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Woke up to the devastating news of the Grenfell Tower Block fire in London. Terrible, tragic, awful. Those poor souls. What a cruel world this is sometimes. You just don’t know what to do, what to think, what to say, do you? It’s one horrific shocker after another. I just have to express my sorrow and sympathy; it would be crass and insensitive to write about banalities when people have died in a terrible…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Lovely weather here in Kent today. After a red eye flight from JFK to Gatwick, I went straight to the office to crack on with some deadline stuff. I know. Mad really. But I shall sleep well tonight! This time yesterday evening, I was hanging out with Gracie on the hotel rooftop in Astoria…. Grace looking much much better by the day. And look what she got up to while I was in the…
