The pressure does not seem to have abated yet but at least we did get time to have a weekend away over the Bank Holiday. This was in part though to deliver a couple of the last framed fells from The Wainwrights in Colour to a happy customer. The previous…
My days are now being taken up by organising the delivery of all the pre-orders for The Wainwrights in Colour Book, who ever said that I would now be able to put my feet up and go on holiday got it slightly wrong. Not that I mind, after all, it is…
