Its been a strange week of only having half a head and something valuable being stolen. Half of my head isn’t enough to do what I wanted to do, so I’ve had to draw back on running on full tilt for the last few days. The missing part of my head went with the cold that […]
Whilst at a birthday party celebration at the weekend I bumped into the wife of the birthday boy as I was coming out of the ladies toilet as she was on her way in and started chatting as women do about whatever they feel is important at the sight of each other. It turned out […]
I like to do my bit to help others, most of us do, don’t we. And that’s how I’m viewing this gallery sale at the moment, it’s my way of passing on some of my artwork at very very affordable prices to appreciating buyers. I know I COULD ask for a lot more, and know that there […]
