Hi there!Good of you to drop in. Running late again, I’m afraid. I’ve got what looks like an insurmountable pile of work to do before bedtime, so decided to have a break and chat to you for a bit. Look at the state of this worktop! Somewhere in there are the next New Design Club projects. Have to be completed tonight, so we can move forward with the write-up and graphic layout. But this Groovi one is taking sooooo long! I…
Hi there! Sorry I’m late! Work got in the way… Thanks for popping in though. Another rainy day in the south. Thought I’d have a play with the new YUPO paper, to unwind. It really is THE most therapeutic unwinder! All you need is a pack of A5 Yupo paper some alcohol inks: and some felts Ready? Let’s make a landscape. It’s a piece of cake. Drip some Stonewashed Alcohol ink on the felt and using an applicator, dab dab…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in. We just got back from a crazy week in Glastonbury. And I mean C R A Z Y . Great music, amazing vibe, hooking up with friends along the way. But the mud!!!! T H E M U D !!!!!!! Apparently, the muddiest, wettest Glastonbury on record. Even the woodchip sank. According to Michael Eavis, the Festival founder, who ironically sang “I did it my way” with Coldplay for the finale, “I’ve…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Getting ready for the final day of Glastonbury. Missed Adele yesterday, but we saw her at the O2 in March – otherwise I would have waded through mud to singalong with my fave! Actually, must have picked up a bug at the Open Days, and have been cough cough coughing all week, so probably would just have mimed. Don’t think anyone would notice here somehow…. Looks rather cloudy out there, but we really must…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had an absolutely radio rental day at the festival yesterday, watching some epic musicians, and culminating in a headbanging session to Muse on the Pyramid Stage last thing. So we decided to kick back today and give the mud and chaos a miss. There’s only so much of that noise and crowd level a sane and sober person can take!! Walked across the fields into Glastonbury to clear the heads. Happened upon a magical…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Although the internet here in Glastonbury is pretty weak, so I’m not sure whether I’ll even be able to chat to you! Ah well, give it a go… Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well there’s no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision. No no no! I’m not talking about the referendum! I’m talking about staying on a caravan site about 6 miles away from the festival!!! We went over…
Hello everyone! I’m back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul here, I hope you are all well. I have been reading the blog to make sure you have all been behaving. Anyway, I have just had a call from Barbara & Dave. They are in the middle of a muddy field……… Mmmmmm I wonder which one? So no internet access. Since it is the Glastonbury Weekend, Barbara has decided on a “rocking” offer you can’t refuse! The Musical Score and Musical Instruments Groovi Plates. They…
Hi there! Greetings from Glastonbury! We had a bit of a fiasco getting here last night. M25 fine, M3 fine, A303 fine, Dave the Caravan Man waved to Stonehenge on the right Glastonbury 361 – came to a standstill. 5 hours sat sitting in the car, not moving. Popularly known as gridlock traffic, or a pain in the bum if you come from Gillingham! Ah well, fortunately we had bought some food from Waitrose at a truck-stop en route, so…
Hiya! Thanks for dropping in! Been a total scramble today, trying to get out the door…. But now for something completely different! Here we are, Barbie and Dave, two caravan virgins, all set – for better or for worse – for our next little adventure! Look what we’ve got! Only sticking point is the weather really… Bedding? Tick. Towels? Tick. Loo roll? Tick. The rest we can get en route! While Dave manoeuvres the caravan in the drive, and hitches…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in on this rainy day. Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, right? I want to share something really special with you… Well yesterday, we hung out with our friends Debby and Gill. They have moved to Texas, which has been a bit of a mission. Having moved back and forth across the continents from Europe to California myself, I know what a logistic challenge that is. We were talking about all the trinkets and dust-catchers…
