Hello! Thanks for popping in! This afternoon we waved goodbye to another smashing bunch of ladies at the Crowborough Retreats. It was great to have supper with these guys at the lovely Spa Hotel last night too. Super food, great service. And very reasonable too, when you consider the ambience! Emptied the crafty hall today in record time, with the help of a few good people. Susan Marsden is a dab hand with a broom, I can tell you! And…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. TGIF !! We’re off to the Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells this evening. No, not just Dave and I for a romantic, candlelit dinner! There are 25 of us from the retreats having supper together. Pics to follow…. I feel bad that this is the first time I’ve socialised with our guests in a fortnight, but in all honesty, the tooth saga has been pretty unpleasant, and all I’ve wanted to do is come…
Hi there. Thursdays Blog is something Blue ! Dave ’ere! In Barb’s absence, ie: she’s out on the town….No seriously though, she has asked me to step in for this evening and write something for her Blog (She has a meeting involving eating tonight). “It will be a pleasure”, says I, then realising that really I should be making a card, getting Groovi with some expert parchment craft or simply getting to grips with those lovely canvas boards and chalky…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sorry I am so late blogging again today. Had an important supper date with some special people who aren’t in town very often. We spent the time hatching a brilliant Groovi plan – to be continued tomorrow evening! You know I sometimes use the expression, “We are much greater than the sum of our parts”? Well, believe you me, each one of these ladies is formidable, but put them together and they are a…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in. Came home from a lovely day with a smashing team at Crowborough to shocking news of the 84 year old French priest, who was murdered during this morning’s mass. They slit his throat in front of his congregation and took 4 others hostage. What a mad mad mad world this is. So I came away to my room, to think about that priest, and the other poor souls involved in Rouen. Words fail me….
Hiya! Sorry I’m so late! After a really lovely first day of Retreat No. 4, Jim, Paul, Dave and myself had a design meeting this evening. Made a plan of where we’re headed for the next couple of months and allocated fresh ideas and artwork. Compiled the next few TV shows and figured out what to showcase, what to put into production etc. We’ve got some really neat new things in the pipeline now! What a fab team we do have….
Hello! How are you? (I can feel a song coming on….) Day off here. Went to Tunbridge Wells to buy a birthday pressie for our Jayne. Found something I think she will love. Roasted a leg of lamb and served a nice lunch. Was even able to eat it! Teeth are behaving reasonably well, so hopefully the mental dental saga has subsided. Had exactly 1 hour for my blog, before we go to Jayne’s garden party. I love it when…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in. What a great few days we have had with our retreat guests. Thank you so much to those of you who came and invested so much time, energy and money in a couple of Clarity days with Paul and myself. Hope it was worth it for them. So a day of rest tomorrow, and then we take it from the top on Monday. Really looking forward to it. So now to today’s…
Hi there. How are you? Thanks for dropping in! We’ve had a lovely day today, thank you. It was a real treat to welcome friends old and new to the 3rd double-day retreat of the week. Finally, the toothache is subsiding, so the old Gray mare is back! I want to share something with you…. Have I ever told you that I don’t drink alcohol at all? Not a drop. Haven’t had a drink for at least 15 years, in fact….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Once the workshop came to an end today, and we waved goodbye to our lovely guests, I shot off to see the dentist again, to get to the root of the problem… (excuse the pun). Nothing he could do to help except assure me that Dry Socket hurts like hell, (no shit Sherlock), but that it does get better after 2 to 3 weeks. And the good news is it’s already been a week!…
