Just returned from Jordan to find an email from BBC1 TV producer making a series on the social history of Britain in the last 50 years.
They want to include a piece on TB and to focus on telling it through the stories of children who were in a sanatorium – hence their interest in “The Children of Craig-y-nos”.
Received a copy this morning of the Medical Journalists’ Association 2010 Health & Medicine in the Media booklet.
I am listed in the Open Book Awards 2010 along with my co-author Carole Reeves in the commended category.
One spin off already from Forth Valley Open Studios is that last weekend five artists in Stirling got together and organised their own mini Open Studios weekend – and it was a great success!
Other spin-offs include a new gallery opening in Bridge of allan encouraged by the success of FVOS, new Life Drawing class starting soon in Delta Studios, Larbert and many artists have found an increased demand for their workshops and classes.
Well, the first Trossachs Open Studios weekend got off to a very wet start. I had some visitors that weekend from China so I took the opportunity to show them a side of British life they had never seen before.
They liked the friendliness and informality of the Open Studios where we just wandered into peoples houses…
