Hi there! How has your day been? Mine is still going strong! I am up to my elbows in paint, and having a fine old time! 4 hours later: It all started with a brand new Polka Dot Stencil, which Jim designed and presented me with this evening on the way out of the door at 6. “There’s 24 spots!” he said, “brilliant for an advent calendar”.
