Birthday :)

It was my birthday last week and I chose as a birthday treat a trip to Birmingham to go and see an very inspiring exhibition called Lost in Lace The window display at Harvey Nic's with a lace Paul Smith jacket could easily have been part of the exhibition too. We had a nice coffee and panini in a glass built Costa cafe.

Old phone photos

I got a new phone last week and when I was putting the old phone to rest I discovered some forgotten photographs on it - a shadow puppet workshop I did with an after school club, handbags from a graduate show - sorry can't remember the artist, Milly the cat and lastly Mr D's cat Pedro, such a lovable character and sadly no longer with us.

Nice one

Back from a fantastic time in Antwerp. We went on the superfast Eurostar (good thing we didn't go the following week as it broke down ) I took over 700 photo's which you can so easily do using a digital camera. We stayed at Het Melkhuis, which is a lovely eco house 10mins from the station. We walked and walked and drank mint teas and coffees, ate in some wonderful cafes and restaurants, visited museums admired the architecture, sat in some squares (plaats), window shopped and generally took in the atmosphere. The weather was perfect and we would just like to say -
"NICE ONE"ANTWERP" we want to come back.

whew!!!!!!!

I am not a very technical minded person, when I first set up this blog I made a fairly basic heading as I was keen to get blogging. It was ok for a while but then as you do I got fed up with the look of it but had not had the time to do much about it. However when me and the weather were a bit under par at the beginning of the week I spent a huge amount of time playing around in photoshop to make a new heading. I wish photoshop had exsisted when I was working in graphic design I just love it !!!!!!!
Hope you have a good weekend. I am working in the morning but then I'm going to see the Tissington welldressings and also visit some of the artists showing work here
