Yes as farI as was told to me many years ago, today is the middle day of a normal year .. now I have never done the maths but I think that is is probably right.
Today is also going to be oh so busy……we have decided not to put out big tent up for the open weekend as the weather seems to be rather unpredictable …it was seriously windy yesterday and miserable and threatening today .
and ….later on this morning…I have to have my photo taken by the local press !!
several years ago I helped with a massive community project here in Newark…The Mill gate Map…..A 16 ft hanging (textile) anyway it was hung at the local museum…Over 200 people particpated as well a schools , oap groups and churches …but there was insufficient funding for it to be framed properly..it was designed to have an unconserved lifespan of 100 years and so one thing it needed was special archiaval glass.. anyway …funding has been gained and it will be unveiled in its new framed glory..and there will be a picture in the paper.
so aswell as all that .. we have heaps and heaps to do for the open weekend… but I am going to have a cup of coffee before the day starts!!


Wish I could come to your weekend, but what with opening my new Gallery, and having had a lot of time off in June, I really can’t get away at the moment. Hope it is a huge success.
