Hi there! Thanks for popping in. The third day in Slovenia and a great success. Full workshops and everybody happy to be in the Pergamano seat or doing Groovi. Linda was in fine fettle, The guests were soaking up all the techniques and ideas. Next to us there was something quite different going on. Now you’ve all seen face painting at the mall, when the kids queue up and get Spiderman or Ariel painted on their face, and then it…

Greeting from Maribor! Home of the oldest vine in the world, and in the Guiness Book of records. Yesterday morning, a lovely young lady called Laura took us on a guided tour of the city. I know. It’s a hard task – but somebody’s got to do it! Blue skies, and spring is most certainly in the air. These trees are all along the water’s edge. We couldn’t work out what they were… Asked Laura, and believe it or not,…

All through the mall are tables of crafters, being taught be artists and artisans from all over the world. This beautiful…
Hi there! Perga/Burger Man again! Just had a garbled call from Barbara & Linda….. Apparently, they are stuck in a shopping centre with a poor signal (yeah right!) and could I post the blog that she prepped earlier! Mmmmmm, what do we think? “Stuck” in a shopping centre?

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. TGIF! Today I want to take you to London, to discover a precious jewel hidden in the heart of London. Sir John Soane’s Museum is located at Lincoln’s Inn Fields. It’s just round the corner from Holborn Undergound. Our Jim at work recommended we visit it when next in the city. So on Wednesday, after our business meeting, we hopped on the tube at Marylebone, and were there in no time. The London Underground really is…
