The accent is from further north than Birmingham and comes from the potteries. My fathers accent, I dont really notice if people have yorkshire, jordie, scouse or scotish but a potteries or 'Staffy-cher' accent instantly brings back memories of childhood visits to my Grandmothers house and seeing my cousins. We visited once a year at Easter, for about a week.
I was brought up in saaaf east London and I only moved away from London in 2001.
Anyway I have to make a mosaic like one I made about 12 years ago. A little odd, as I dont have to find a design solution for this project. Cos it is a fish pond! And it is the one I made all that time ago. Of course I will have to re-design and modify it, which will mean drawing with pencils….eh…..that will feel some what strange, as I have spent all summer drawing with a 9" angle grinder.
I spent a day in a local school designing fish with two Primary school classes to incorperate into this project. The picture I have decided to upload today is the cover of a folded paper with an apology note.

From a boy who had a tantrum in the class room and had to be carried out and calmed down. I expect I will get to know him better as things unfold.
