Hi Richard - what a lovely thing to say! Thank you:-)

Glad to hear Brighton cast its spell on you too, I love it, we are just about to have our annual arts festival, one of the best things being the Artists Open Houses for the last 25 years during each weekend in May around 180 (and growing!) artists open their homes and studios to the public, showing and selling their own and other artists work... its an absolutely wonderful event here... did you ever get a chance to visit any on your trips here? I'd highly recommend it! If you do come let me know and I'll tell you all the best ones to visit!!
