We looked in to see Martyn's "A Fragile Earth" exhibition this afternoon, and we strongly recommend you do too. It is thoughtful and thought-provokingas well as a visual pleasure. Meeting both Martyn and Paula was the icing on the cake, thank you both.

Very pleased that this collage 'Messina Mountain' will be off to a new home at the end of my show 'A Fragile Earth' at the Hive Gallery in Bolton. I'm there tomorrow 1-5pm if you're in the neighbourhood!
Thank you Paula for the shout out and to everyone for your kind words. Apologies for my own laziness and lack of posting! If you are in Bolton on a Friday or Saturday afternoon until the 24th Oct then do pop in to the Hive Gallery, it would be lovely to see you!
