Hi there! Thanks for popping in. It’s early here, the sun is coming up over the city, and New York is waking up. Last day here today. Flight back this evening at 11pm, which puts me back in England just in time for brunch tomorrow. I think my little Gracie Schmetterling (German for butterfly) is getting ready to fly again; she will be okay now. She has the week off, except for a few voice over auditions. ? I know!…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sunday morning in the Big Apple. The sun is shining, and I think I will go a-walking, get some fresh air and do some people watching – before Grace gets up! This jet lag is a funny old thing. The body clock just doesn’t want to adjust to the hour clock this visit, so I’m just going with it. We’re 5 hours behind you here. I just rang Dave, who was sitting in a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Sitting in the sunshine somewhere in New York, and just wanted to touch base before I head off to spend the rest of the day with Gracie. She’s back in her flat and recuperating. Feels a bit rough, poor kid, but hey! It could be a whole lot worse. In case you didn’t pick up the post yesterday, she is in the clear. Yep. Not malignant. She’s got a tidy scar across her throat, but…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me here in this hotel room in New York. Great view! Let’s move in a little closer….. No, closer…. That’s better. Spent the whole day in that concrete jungle yesterday. Loved it. I LOVE NEW YORK. And I must say, I met so many helpful, friendly people yesterday. Everywhere I went, folks were so cordial. Perhaps that’s because I smile and am friendly too. It’s like a mirror effect really, isn’t it? I bet if…
Hi there! Paul here, I hope you are all well. Just had a message from Barb asking me to post her blog today as they don’t have any WiFi in Macy’s!!!!! Mmmmmm, very strange! Anyway, over to Barb! Hi there.Thanks for popping in. The other day when I was prepping for the TV, I received a beautiful hand written letter from one of our lovely customers, Roger Smithies in Rochester. He wanted to share some of his art with me, …
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is when we look at matters of the soul mostly, don’t we? I need to get something off my chest. You see, when you run a company and you go on TV, you sign an invisible agreement which states that you are no longer allowed to say what you really think, and no longer permitted to react badly when people come at you. There is a hidden clause which states that you must always…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Can’t stop for long – have a flight to catch. I will be sure to keep you posted, so no worries. I need to get something off my chest though. You see, when you run a company and you go on TV, you sign an invisible agreement which states that you are no longer allowed to say what you really think, and no longer permitted to react badly when people come at you. There…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Received a parcel today. It’s always so lovely to receive lovely artwork from our Clarity friends. But this one, created by Penny Nuttall – well, it made us all stop and smile. It just about sums up Grooviworld, doesn’t it! Penny has used Woodland Animals and Feathered Friends The poem was written using our Alphabet Picture Frame I spy several other elements from various plates, but what a brilliant poem! I am sure you…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Many thanks also for watching, supporting and even buying the lovely Gentleman’s Collection if you did. The Whole Collection Wow! They flew again, didn’t they! Trust me. We supply the TV with THOUSANDS of plates. Not hundreds. THOUSANDS. So when we sell out, you really have gone for it. And we just can’t make more, because then the next collection will fall behind. And with Steve’s back at the moment, we definitely can’t be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Many many thanks to dear Tina for the inspiration today, both on TV and here on the blog. I hope I did her work justice. I certainly learned so much from attempting to replicate her work! Let’s go through the project one step at a time, just as I did today on Hochanda TV. First I think we should look at where we’re headed… Yes, pretty special, isn’t it? But actually, it is very…
