Hi there Do you remember that sentence ringing through the pub at about 10 to 11 of an evening ?! Or 20 past 10 if you lived north of the Thames? The English licensing hours were what taught me the art of speed drinking!! Then I moved to Germany, where they served you until you couldn’t stand up – and that’s where I learned endurance drinking. Then we moved to California, where hooch and wine were so cheap in the…
Hi there Sorry to be so cryptic! But I did want to attract your attention! The doors are closing on a couple of things ! Firstly, we were in the States when the doors opened for the 2024 Craft Award Nominations, so we haven’t asked you until now to consider putting a tick next to Clarity! Sorry. But here we are now, giving you the link – because the doors close on Tuesday!! Yikes! https://craftworld.com/cms/craftawards Here are the categories which…
Hi This morning, Dave went to work, and I decided to sort out a few domestic chores. Loaded the washing machine and the dishwasher, checked all the dates on the stuff in the fridge, threw a couple of jars of pickle away, because the date was pre-covid! And much as I often dispute the Best Before date, even I had to admit that 2019 was stretching it a bit! Then I went to Morrisons, which is not a shop I…
Hi there How about a Happy Weekend Sale? When you think there is nothing to celebrate, give yourself a reason! It’s in full flow, and sales are going very well. Thank you !! I have conjured up a picture in my mind; let me share it with you… If this website were an actual shop, an actual bricks and mortar building, with a front door and a till, and smiling shop assistants in aprons ready to assist – you wouldn’t…
Hi there Apologies for the absence this week. It has been so hectic since we got back from our holidays! I am starting to think about booking another one! A really, really LONG one! Just a little recap…. No wonder I’m cream crackered! I finished the November Club projects this morning, cleared the decks for the SHAC tonight, figured out what we’re all doing together – and once I have blogged this, I am going for a little nap. Thing…
Hi there Before I climb up the apple n pears to winkin blinken and nod, I just want to thank everybody who joined in this afternoon, with our first official paid online Workshop. Judging by the dozens of fabulous landscape scenes which have been proudly popping up all over Facebook, I’d like to say, it was a success! You have to have it in your hand in front of you to really get how cool it is! This artwork is…
Hi there I always read all your responses when you post below these blogs. Even if i don’t always respond to them. But there was one a couple of days ago which really made me smile. Sonia Parker says: 9th October 2024 at 11:37 pm Edit My Mum had two friends Percy Verance and Will Power xx Brilliant! I had talked about two creeps that were doing press-ups in the car park at the moment, waiting for me. They’re called Agg and…
Hi there, When all around you are losing their rag, when things are just rubbish, and the rain is running down the windows, there are two instant tonics: https://www.facebook.com/1004431287/videos/10209485498506742 There was a big sign right next to this pink camel, that said, “strictly no climbing on the sculptures.” Whatever…we certainly got off fast when the cops turned the corner though! 😂😂😂 We couldn’t NOT climb up on it!! Well, Paul made it; I couldn’t get my leg over!! Can you…
Hi there. So how far back shall we travel on our timeline today? How about just a year? You know that line in a song, “What a difference a day makes? 24 little hours” Well, string 365 of them together, and then take a look back! According to my phone, October 8th last year was a Sunday. According to my photos, Dave and I went for a picnic up on the Ashdown Forest with his daughter Laura and the family……
Hi there, I promised to give you any updates and keep you in the loop, so here goes. One of the lovely buyers from Create called me this afternoon, to let me know that there’s been a change of plan, and they won’t be broadcasting LIVE until Friday now. No comments or opinions please. I said I’d keep you posted, and I have. Let’s just agree that you can’t help the thoughts that come into your head, but you don’t…
