Hi there! Greetings from Leyburn and an Empty hall. All the ladies and friends have left, Dave has taken off darn sarf with laden van, and Paul and I are the last turkeys in the shop! Just wanted to chat to you before we set off too. It will be very late before we hit EDENBRIDGE! Linda was amazing, and the workshop was delightful – from content through to company. I learned loads, and I was supposed to be co-teaching!…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Brilliant day at Leyburn. Hundreds of happy campers and friends old and new. So much kindness and generosity in spadefuls.

Thank you so much Jen!!! We will be enjoying your cakes at the workshop tomorrow xxx Cream crackered…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Well, if you’re in the area, and you fancy a day out, I do hope you can join us for the day at Tennants, Leyburn, North Yorkshire tomorrow. We have laid the tables, and are all set for a wonderful day of all things Clarity. Here we see the team, the crew who helped us put it all together. Took all day!!! Tennants is such a beautiful venue too! There will be heaps of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie step-by-step from the weekend, before we hit the road and trundle up to Leyburn, North Yorkshire for our Clarity Open Day Extravaganza up north. What a busy week this is! Dodging spite-soaked arrows from nay sayers, whilst scrambling to get all the orders sent out on time, get out the door to Leyburn and get my Dad taken care of. Long story short. The NHS let him down badly (very badly), …
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Wednesday’s blog is the day when we look at that richest of all tapestries: LIFE. This evening I would like to raise the subject of negativity. Not for long. Don’t intend to get sucked into it. Just want to straighten out a couple of points. I knew we would come under fire the minute we came up with the new Picot cutting Dies combined with Groovi plates, which we launched on Sunday evening. Linda…

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Worn out today, I can tell you!! While Linda and Paul blew the doors off Hochanda with our Birthday Celebration One Day Special, Dave and I were back in the office, cheering on the troops and making sure everyone was happy back at base! What a weekend!!! I can’t thank you enough for giving us all a reason to go to work – although today I could have done with a lie in to…
Hi there! Thank you so much for spending your weekend with us at HOCHANDA. What a celebration of all things Clarity – culminating in this evening’s Groovi-Fresh Cut concept with Linda and Paul. It has gone absolutely crazy. While Linda and Paul showed you how-to Tricks all calm and lovely, we were running around in the background like headless chickens !!! What a climax. Homestly. I cannot tell you. Even though Pergamano experts like Linda and Tina and Glynis and…
Hi there. Early start today! Too excited to sleep. It‘s our Birthday! Quarter of a century! Good Grief! So I am going to spend a happy hour with you on Hochanda this morning at 10am, going right back to the very, very first thing I drew in the name of Clarity – my Nursery Rhyme ABC. I am presenting it in Groovi Format, together with a little ii-book, which tells you the rhymes for each letter. I did showcase this…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Got up to the studios early evening, have been setting up the counter and getting everything ready for 10am tomorrow. Better to sort it out before bedtime. Makes for a softer pillow when you have a plan set for the next day. I like it in the studio in the evening too. It is pretty much empty, so you can just get on with the job. So tomorrow we will be celebrating 25 years…
