You'd think that relaxation for me would not involve working with textiles and colour, but it does. I've been taking a class at our local Leisure Centre in printing. We are printing on to all types of things, but mostly onto paper and fabric. And I am loving it! Those who know me know very well […]

We try and take a Sunday Walk every week, and we try and make it quite a long walk so the dogs (and us!) get a good stretching of the legs and we can justify a breakfast of bacon and egg (that's for us, not the dogs!).

Sometimes people who don't know this part of the world consider it a cultural vacuum. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's true to say we don't have huge, expensive and self important art galleries where people who are famous for being famous have their art installations. But .... what […]
