Hi Back from holiday this week. We had a fantastic time in Cornwall. I managed to do a little it of painting and sketching and saw some great work in local galleries. I was particularly impressed with the acrylic paintings at the Old Forge Gallery in Boscastle. Helen Setterington, the artistic, captures the coastal scenery brilliantly. However, with the holiday over its time for me to get back to the chores (piles of washing and ironing). I am breaking myself in gently this week and putting in some work on my City & Guilds course, completing the embroidery panel. So far so good. It should be finished by Sunday.
