All of a sudden nothing happened

I have long held the view that things happen in batches, and conversely, they also don’t happen in batches. The stuff of life is never equally placed to make things easier, it gets shunted up together to make it a little more difficult! That is why at this moment I am sitting kicking my heels, […]

You couldn’t have come at a better time

You couldn’t have come at a better time

I’ve been spreading my seeds far and wide. Out into the wide blue yonder (well, small pockets of North West Leicestershire actually) and now I’ll sit back and see what responses I get to my adverts for teaching art classes.
