Just sat down to write this and I am already out of time lunch hr once again taken up with domestic chores and getting presents for children’s parties etc.
I have to send some feed back to Emma as well about the strengths and weaknesses of the trail. This I could split in to two, the personal and the general. I think Emma wants the general the personal I can explore here.
Fiona at the white Gallery is sounding people out about taking the open studios to a biannual event (its 4 years to the next festival) I said I would be up for it but maybe just one weekend because of the effects on the family. The sense of guilt I felt at displacing my family over two weekends from their home was quite upsetting. I don’t think it was so bad for them but every time people came when the children were in they got so over excited. They jumped around cut in on me talking and screeched and shouted…all normal for them but I just wanted them out of the way and this is why the guilt. They had a great time with daddy, daddy had a good time but was tired, and I had a good time but was guilty.Mike says I can do it every year if I want. I think every 2 would be enough and of course the kids are getting older.
Next need to address how my work was perceived, how i felt about it and wher to go now, i have lots of ideas….but must get back to the job now.
