Hi there Thanks for popping in. Oh these are exciting times indeed! The van’s all loaded and ready to go to Ditton early tomorrow morning. Sam Crowe’s already in the Hotel. She drove down from Newcastle today. Tina Morris is also darn sarf and visiting her Mum. The others are all wending their merry way down to Maidstone tomorrow. It’s a bit of a cliff hanger on the pottery front. The kiln is still at 400º, but coming down. Takes…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a good day today. We have good days and growing days, right? Some days are easy, others are more challenging. But today has been a GOOD DAY! It started with a very productive meeting first thing with the Clarity Design crew. This is how it goes. Somebody has an idea (on this occasion it was myself). We then call a meeting with the team, bounce said idea around, gather responses, throw suggestions…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Lots of TV shows this week. Tina is back today at 11am and 3pm with the Pergamano show, which will be delightful as ever. I will highlight the products and art samples down below, but for now I want to talk about something, and I’ll start with this quote for the day. We can’t help the thoughts that come into our heads, but we don’t have to voice them all! Barb I bumped into…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’m going upstairs to my little art-studio above the garage for the first time in months. I had prepped the TV show for January, but then that weekend Dad died, so Paul jumped in. I haven’t been back up there since. It’s time. You know what I mean. I am going back on Telly next Wednesday, to launch the 6pm ODS, so I’d best be prepared; better for the head to be ahead of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been hanging out with Ragnar and Dave by the Aga. This Empyema certainly is a thing! You feel fine, you can breathe fine, you can drink tea fine. No pain. But wait until you move around! A leisurely stroll to the fridge and you feel like you’ve run down to Sainsbury’s and back! Ah well. I guess I shall just have to stop running down to Sainsbury’s! It’ll be ok. There is so much…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Firstly thank you so very very much for all your positive and kind messages! What a tonic! I had the loveliest of mornings, just sitting by the Aga (the cats are never far away), opening the many Thinking of You cards, condolence cards on Dad’s passing, and then the Speedy recovery cards! So much beautiful artwork! I promise you, the very first thing we’re going to do, before we even fire up the SHAC…
Hi everyone, Paul here. The super talented Tina Cox will be on Create & Craft tomorrow for The Pergamano Shows at 11am & 3pm and she will be away with the fairies! She will be shining a light on a couple of collections that work perfectly together. I have seen the artwork that Tina has created and I reckon you will love it. The 2 pieces will appeal to both new and old Groovers! And I don’t mean age wise!…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Tina will be back on Create & Craft at 1pm & 5pm today with some fabulous designs from Linda Williams. Tina asked for these to be put on her show as she said that these designs were some of her all time favourites. I totally agree with her! The Flowers and Lace Collection is my favourite too. Click HERE to investigate the entire collection On a personal note, I cannot thank Tina enough for…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went walking in the woods with Grace this morning. Slid around on the ice and had quite a giggle. Blue skies and crisp underfoot – apart from the muddy slosh underneath the trees! A walk out in the fresh, wintery air is certainly good for the soul. Whatever is going on in life, there’s got to be time for a leisurely walk with your daughter, eh? She lights up my life Now I’m sitting…
