I'm home...

and I'm shattered! It's been a wonderful week at the Textile Showcase in St Aubin, Jersey. A week of glorious sunshine but bitterly cold wind. It's been great to meet up with so many of the people that I met there last year - it felt just like like meeting old friends. The work schedule has been full on - teaching workshops every day, meals out every evening - all great fun but completely exhausting.

I managed one afternoon off when I walked about two miles around this bay (in a howling gale)

... just to see the beautiful Lalique glass in St Matthew's church.

I'd like to say I've come home for a rest but I'm giving a talk in Farnborough on Monday and teaching again on Tuesday... not to mention all the degree work I need to catch up with. However before that there are a few domestic issues to sort out...

How many days do you think I need to be away before someone else in my household would think about loading the washing machine???
