Day off today – we took the dog to Botany Bay where he ran about on the sand and splashed about in the sea. Had to pop him on the lead when he got a bit too excited over another […]
A day off from the blog yesterday. Today I have been in the gallery at Totnes. Its good to meet other artist, thinkers and buyers but sometimes its a bit much. They all have opinions on the work which is […]

Sporting League 2010 – 2011 Game 19 Bayerns title hope took a severe blow as they were beaten at home by avant garde hipsters Pointeso. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I was in the bar across the road from Bayerns stadium […]
Been working today and I’m exhausted so just going to plod on with the inner beauty stuff tonight with my feet up! Started working on statement and artist talk at the same time. But my head is mush so I’ve […]
G O N E P O S T A L : You’ve got mail! You have been so great about sending me the images I ask for. My folders are brimming and I love getting mail. Very few of you […]
