Hi there. Thanks for popping in. There was much excitement at Clarity yesterday, when the Calendars were delivered. I must tell you – I am so chuffed with it! I think it’s the best one so far. Dave and Paul both said the same thing, which is gratifying. It’s 12” x 12” this year. Thought this might be a little more wall-friendly! Artwise, there is something for everyone. Anyway, my job last night was to sign some! So get yours today!…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, this morning, I woke up and realised that D-Day is almost here! It’s almost time to get on the Clarity train which is destined for HOCHANDA, then the NEC and then QVC DÜSSELDORF. Actually, let’s not call it D-Day. Nearly half a million troops were killed that day in 1944. Beggars belief, doesn’t it? That really stops me in my tracks. In fact, just that single fact…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Must tell you what happened yesterday, when we went for a walk up on the forest. Went off piste, as you do, and decided to go off the beaten track and cut across the fields. Well. They looked like fields from a distance, but on closer inspection, they were actually swampland. One minute I was the official pathfinder, and we were ambling along, admiring the amazing holly trees, the next minute, we were up…
