Thanks Donna and my pupil. If am the mentor, is that my title??? It was lovely to see and meet you both and a good chat and many laughs.. Not much biz going on for any one, too hot so while I love that, too many passing through just to get to the beach.
All finished tonight and waiting for wife to collect me and the caravan tomorrow. t's been a good experience and network

Cheers Donna. It was strange this morning moving my stuff from the shed to the car. Carole came and helped and on the way up the slope to the car, a wheel fell off the borrowed sack trolley and then as we attempted (stupidly - must have been the heat) to unload the large cardboard box off the trolley into the car with all my work in it decided to split. We just laughed - luckily no damage.

Hi Derek, Sorry I haven't posted sooner, I'm finding it very difficult to juggle my time at the moment. Roll on, retirement!! It was great meeting you in Bournemouth last week. Glad you sold a couple to make it all worthwhile. and hopefully you'll have another go next year. Who knows, I might even be brave enough to join you!! Or should I say, the 'wife' and I ? Take care, mate and I hope to see you again soon. Maybe for that sketching lesson that we discussed??:-))

You have seen some sketches, more to come, but here are a couple of shots of the scene itself including my stand. It was just at the start of the school hols and therefore in the excellent weather everyone was keen to get to the beach, passing us by with nary a glance apart from those gadgets they all seem to staring at in heir hands.
It is a good venue give it a whirl on year. I am aiming to go again next year.
