Well a forecast which optimistically could be interpreted as dry with showers. instead showers with some dry. Sophie in hut 28 and I were entertained all morning by the changing colour of the sea and sky as Ballard Down and the Isle of Wight came into view, were obscured, vanished and so on. We both …
So the forecast is windy and wet, not a hut day. So of course being stubborn I opened up this morning and only expecting to see Karen in Hut 20 later. She then was diverted by a matter elsewhere but Denise and Judith 21 and 18 came for a while. Rain started late morning. Just …
Sunday had a dry morning but a wet afternoon. Monday was gloriously sunny and calm in the morning and cloudier in the afternoon. So the weather has not been particularly helpful at weekends so far. It has two chances to redeem itself. I used Sunday to sit outside in the mild morning air without lots …
The forecast was foul, the weather was foul. We still had 18 huts open by 11am. I gave up by 1.30 pm but I am glad I went – such great spirit by our Artisans. Bring on Sunday and calmer weather …
So a forecast of less wind from se and temperature of 4 to 5C. In actual fact the wind dropped during the day, we were treated to several glimpses of blue sky and I was able to draw outside so better than expected and more afternoon customers as well with a number of card sales. …

A south easterly wind meant one clear difference to last week, a temperature drop and noticeable wind without shelter from the huts. This is similar to the temperatures experienced a lot last year and I suspect will come as a shock to many of our Artisans who are new in 2018 who have only had …
Monday – duty day at the yard and far busier than I had expected. I spent the morning resolving an accounting issue from Saturday’s busy duty. Jobs for myself included updating my card stock listing and framing three new print copies – two for the yard and one for the beach. I also added d-rings …
Yes, okay posted the next day, weary last night. Away from my artiness I used to be a teacher as I have shared with many of you when talking about my work. I left after a breakdown and still get the occasional nightmare where I am having a breakdown in a school – this was …
Today was the Rotary Christmas event in the centre of Swanage. You had to feel sorry for them based in the wind tunnel of Station Road while we were sheltered from the wind. We had a busy day at the huts and I shared my hand drawn suit. This was an idea I had last …
