Alison's beautiful monoprints and collographs can be seen and bought at her Open Studio in Blakeney, Norfolk, GB.

My art groups here enjoyed her brilliant workshops 2 years ago, and she inspired us to create a printing studio here which is ready to go this Summer.

Theatrical Light Effects

An eerie effect of the light lasted all of 5 minutes or so, whereby
the evening sun flashed through thunder clouds, brilliantly
spotlighting house and surroundings. This is symptomatic of the
schizophrenic weather we've been experiencing here. After a hot dry
March, Winter returned with a vengeance and this week alone we've
experienced a small hurricane, sheets of rain, and hailstones. The
irrigation lake, previously at its lowest level ever, filled up in
one night. The fields are flooded and walking the dog feels more like
wading with him.
Two 'motards' arrived on their Honda from Orleans, having been
drenched all the way here.

Dr Nick Sireau at TEDx

 A 10 minute talk given by Nick Sireau, whose 2 children suffer from Alkaptonuria, an extremely rare, painful, bone wasting disease, which describes his efforts to raise  £10 million  for clinical trials of a potential cure, and to launch a new charity to find cures for rare diseases.
An amazing and heartwarming example of persistence in the face of general indifference.  
If you've been moved by this talk do please contribute.

spring orchard & other matters

We're multi-tasking here with the sudden onset of Spring and farm deadlines to meet, and several B & B clients arriving for Easter.  The plum orchard has been pruned, mown, fertilised, and re-stocked with 130 new trees.  A hole digger was used and after the saplings were planted I drove the van up and down the rows with the yellow drainage pipes cut to size while Paul placed them over the young trees to prevent damage by deer. 

The -19 degree temperatures of the Winter caused less damage than we feared and green shoots are appearing in dead looking shrubs and plants.  

Our 1st clients of the year were a delight to meet.  John and Mary Stratton who make competition winning fruit flavoured vinegars and oils from their home in Eastbourne.  (www.stratta.org)

My blog history is lost (in the short term apparently!!) as the blog host Posterous has been taken over by Twitter, so hope this post works.  Enjoy the Spring.
