I’m having some roof repairs done at the moment, and there’s nothing like the sight of a fit muscular man wielding his large hammer to stir the blood……. unless its two of them! It also struck me, whilst I was idling watching the men working on the roof (as you do!) that this is the […]
Well, as expected, I sold no paintings at the exhibition at the weekend. And don’t think I’m being depressingly negative, and I’m certainly not defeatist, and never a pessimist…..
