Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

Things are looking up for a number of reasons. The porch which leaks every time we have a downpour is being replaced in a fortnight. I don’t look forward to the work but I won’t miss the polystyrene tiles, the plastic door and the buckets. I’ve also booked train tickets for the Royal Academy Summer Show Varnishing Day. I’d never heard of it before but it sounds like an experience. The selection has really lifted my spirits. .
