i posted all this in my MA blog rather than this one by accident so for the sake of continuity I’m reposting it.
I keep referring back to this blog for my course work and don’t want to miss bits out, apologies for anyone who read it twice but I’ll add a nice photo of the sparkling clean caravan too. My fabulous (tall) husband managed to reach up top and clean the roof, it took him all afternoon!!
RPT:
Best laid plans got scuppered due to vile illness , been off work and off working for this project all week.
I officially hate being ill.
I do not do it well, my creative thinking vanished!
In the midst of this, just as I began to feel ‘slightly’ human I had to take a group of school children on a tour of the park, pre arranged ages ago so had to go.
It went really well, the kids were all so polite and very interested, they followed me around listening intently and asking lots of questions. We talked a bit about the visitor centre that they will be making work for. I go into their school on 24th to do an assembly and discuss all this in detail with the rest of the kids.
Then because I’d been out in the rain, I got ill again :(
I did however manage to speak with my old lecturer at Wirral Met college and they’ve agreed to loan me one of their old plan chests for the duration of the summer. I’ll re-furb it into a lepidoptera cabinet for the visitor centre saving a small fortune not having to actually buy one, major bonus staying friends with other creatives.
The entries are in for the Butterfly Art trail, some really interesting ones amongst them. I’ll be presenting to the team this week (pending my feeling better) and looking for a decision on who to invite to join with us this year. Very excited.
