Folkestone Revisited






Quite a happening few days.

We took a Chalet on in Dymchurch for three nights, basically to go to John Hosking's two person opening which he shared with Rebecca Holtom.
It was a very rough and ready chavvy site which suited us as we were very near the sea and on the out-skirts of the place and as such only had to take the dogs over the road for a walk.
It seems that one of my earliest tutors has recently died, I heard about it today from Tim Mapson although I am not sure when it happened.
And of course - this morning came the relieving news that Barrack Obama has been re-elected. As Richard Butler put it - phew!


We spent the morning on Saturday with Dave Bridge, Rosemary Hosking and three dogs in and around Johns garden and Studio in the woods. I informed him that didn't deserve it! A beautiful place to be and work.


The show was on Sunday morning. It was a very pleasant and efficient event in an ample library gallery. In fact, ambitious and delightful.


Here we also met up with Nina Gieble and Bob Meecham. Turning the whole affair into a bit of a re-union.

The anthem of the event was produced by Dave and his wife Liz - covering the subject of "Senior Moments"
As for myself, I've been having similar experiances ever since I met Mary Jane in the mid sixties.




And - -
a link to some photos I put onto Facebook.

The last thing to come out of these few days was the face that I wasn't easily able to show any of my blogs sites etc. so I have decided to put them down here.

Please feel free to say whatever you feel.
I would be more than happy if your comment turns into a longer statement than mine.
I feel it adds to the body of work and as yet you are one of a small nuber of people who read this anyway!

My photo
In this brace of blogs, I am trying to sum up the artistic goals I am aiming for. Maybe, more for myself rather than other people although I would like others to read it. I intend to use the sites as places to which I invite people, I dont expecr an immediate rash of people keen to pore over my life. I see it as a kind of glorified C.V. that will probably never get finished.
