Just back home after being away for another trip; this time Liz took me to Bletchley Park for my belated birthday treat and the place certainly lived up to its expectations. I learnt a great deal and it is beautiful stately home, I learnt a little about myself as well and it was about not taking yourself to seriously.

Whilst seated and doing the above drawing in glorious sunshine an admirer of my work approached. That's fine and its a pleasant way of meeting people. Well this chap really liked the above drawing and wanted it; to the extent that he would like to buy it. So I replied as usual that all my work is for sale. He then put his hand in his pocket, took out two pounds and offered it to me for the picture; I just laughed, as I politely explained reality to him. He laughed as well. We parted friends.

Like I say don't take yourself to seriously and enjoy laughing at yourself occasionally.

Oh by the way New Wine went very well.
