Progress with the glass...

Well, the glass has all been chosen, had a really good trip over to Tempsford with Naomi and there are some really exciting pieces that all work together. Some of the greens are stunning and will look great with the lighter shades. The shop have two fantastic hounds, an English bull terrier and some little terrier - just what was needed chasing round the glass showroom with a ball on a string.

It seems like a couple of weeks ago when we went over but I think it has been quite a little while now, it took me a while to get into being able to cut the first pieces for the window - they were the more expensive greens and it was like gearing up to cut a diamond.

These are two of the greens held up to the lamp in the shed:





So, just to show that I have not been too idle in the meantime, these are some photos of the progress so far, they don't do the window justice against the paper, but you can see the scale and the shapes as the window starts to take shape. I am already enjoying getting on with it and will keep sending updates as I reach the tree trunks and into the sky areas.

One day like this - Elbow in Delamere Forest

Just had a fantastic Saturday with Ady and his lovely lady Fred. Despite fears of petrol pumps running dry and needing to get up almost to Liverpool, it was worth the effort, after all it was also a Birthday celebration for the "old boy."

It looked pretty quiet at 6.00pm when we opened up the picnic -





But as the sun dropped and more people arrived, the atmosphere changed, the stage began to light up and Mr Garvey arrived with the band.











It was all over far too quickly as we wended our way back through the forest to drive back home. So glad that we went and glad that we won't forget what a great gig it was.
