Hi there.
Thanks for popping in. Been working away on my own up here above the garage in the SHAC Shack. It’s comical. There are about 400 of us in here at 10am, and them as quickly as you show up, you all go again. Like a murmuration of starlings…
Busy is definitely my solution. All the time I am busy, I am distracted. It’s always been that way. As soon as I stop working I flounder. Just as well I wasn’t sent home or furloughed! Mind you, I bet I’d have made a start on that book which wants to be written, or that lino-cutting which is still sitting in a pile, ready to be tackled.
But it’s fine. One day at a time, it’s fine. Just got to keep on truckin – and add a daily romp through the woods!
The Clarity TV shows on HOCHANDA.com at the weekend are almost ready. The stamps being showcased at 2-4pm Sunday are a real blast from the past! Love em!! Stampstamps. Blimey. Took me right back to the 90’s when we were exhibiting at the Old Corn Exchange in Newbury, and Julie Hickey (who has been around about as long as me!) got so excited about the idea of creating scenes within postage stamps! I remember thinking, “wow! If she likes them that much, then we may be onto a winner here!” And we were. They sold like hotcakes. Couldn’t make them fast enough.
20 years on, I think they need an airing, so I’ve teamed them up with another fave of mine, the ABC Jungle, and we will have a play on Sunday, if you’re game?

Just time to catch that walk, if I get my skates on.
Love always,
