So I have just gone through my years photos and selected some aspects of the year as a record of some of the arty things I have done. Comments / feedback welcomed. If you are in the changing rooms a lot between chorus numbers what can you do? I sketched and they proved so popular …
So a late entry to the Santa over Series sees Santa over Durlston added to the set today and immediately 21 cards snapped up.
Never an easy month as autumnal weather moves in and we have had stormier weather and rain. Each week now is a mystery as to how many visitors / customers I will see. On Tuesday I was in the shop as the weather meant it as far too wet to be outside and I had …
