Overview

The launch went well on Saturday.   The weather freezing, so it 

was especially nice to welcome visitors who braved the cold.

The fabulous exhibition space on Saturday morning, last

minute twiddling going on.  

Will arrived with his photomontage in the morning, big

sighs of relief all round.  Here it is at the other end of

the gallery, plus Caroline and myself having a last

look around and tidy up.

It was a long, but lovely day.   The Paper Cinema gave

two performances which finished at 7.30pm.  The central

displays were reinstated, chairs returned upstairs, then

home.  Keith and I had a well deserved glass or two of

red before collapsing into bed.   Definitely a cure for

insomnia.  I slept for a full eleven hours!

I am gradually getting the house back into shape.  

Christmas decorations down, only a day or two late.

I found my Walkman, a constant companion as I

wander around plugged in to Radio 4.  It was buried

under exhibition packaging.  

Now a little time to reflect.   Looking at various 

quilts and hangings from a distance it is 

interesting.  A long view.   New mixed

 with old.  Different techniques - new skills.   

I will go along on Wednesdays to steward the 

exhibition and ponder.  Make lists, scribble 

ideas and take along a slow cloth whilst I

contemplate.
