Guess what? I met a blog reader yesterday. She came to my exhibition at home and it was so nice to meet her! I wish I could have had more time to chat than we did, but there were other people wanting to talk to me.
I haven’t slept well these last three nights…Friday I was too excited, and Saturday and Sunday my brain wouldn’t stop whirring around visitors and paintings. It was a lovely time seeing old friends and family and hearing them have friendly conversations with people they had never met before. Dave said afterwards “I suppose this is what a party must be like, but without the dancing and the alcohol.”
He was ensconced in the kitchen serving coffee and cake, hoping to stay away from the socialising, but people sought him out. My brother said “Of course they did - he’s so interesting to talk to.”
I couldn’t have done it without Dave. He helped with getting the house ready and he hung all the paintings. He is so much better at display than I am.
I sold six paintings and I raised money for Medical Aid for Palestinians through the sale of my cards, and the house looked beautiful thanks to all the clearing and cleaning.
I took three videos so you can get a quick shufti.
These are paintings in my studio that were not for sale
These are paintings on the landing and stairs that were not for sale
These are the paintings that WERE for sale, hanging in the other two downstairs rooms

It was a delight to meet you at last Sue! Your paintings are beautiful, even better ‘in the flesh’, as is your house. Thanks for Dave’s delicious Parkin and the warm welcome. I’m glad the exhibition was a success.
Oh all the paintings looks so beautiful!! And it sounds like it was such a success in every way!
It was a success, Marmee - a lovely weekend.
It was very nice to meet you, Barbara. I feel honoured that you came all that way. And I will be in touch about the refugee hospitality days.
