Hi there! Happy Friday. Thank you for popping in today. After the strain of yesterday’s Hochanda new TV channel launch, I decided to step back and enjoy the lovely town of Stamford. What a place! And the George Hotel is very lovely, I must say! This morning I went into the little secret garden at the back… Actually, what happened was, I was trying to get a phone signal to call my Mum and Dad, so stepped outside. I figured…
Oh My Giddy Aunt!!!! This is the funniest thing ever!!!! I had suggested to the ladies at work that they all have a little party and enjoy the new adventure our little company is about to embark on. It was Debby’s birthday today too, and she had already got the doughnuts, so I said, I said, have a party! Get some lemonade! I had also asked my Mum and Dad to join us, because they are on Virgin and Mum…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. My oh my. When will it stop raining?? Tunbridge Wells is very very wet now. Where’s the bloody dog?? But the weather is just another one of those things I have absolutely no control over. I was just in the town, and was watching 3 lads erecting some scaffolding. They were soaked to the skin. But there was an air of grim acceptance around them; they had a job to do, and they…

Hello there! Thanks for popping in today. I spent a quiet and very pleasant afternoon fiddling around in my artroom, being creative. Decided to set myself a challenge and use an old scrap to make a canvas. You’ve got to admit, it doesn’t get much scrappier than this!! Continues undeterred… Decides to wrap the A4 scrap around the A5 canvas. (Say that three times fast when you’ve had a sherry!) Got to be glued. Mod Podge is great for that….
Hello there. Thanks for popping in today! Is it as warm where you are as it is here? Best stay in the shade with a cold drink. But I had a hankering to do something different today. After all the excitement yesterday, all your lovely comments and the huge Hochanda coverage, I really needed to get grounded, Come back down to earth. So I retreated into my art room and dug out – wait for it – some Shrink Plastic !…
