Hi everyone.

Hope all is ok with everybody in your world.  Raining here this morning and we were all set to go to visit Newbridge House and Gardens but it will have to be another day now. :-(
Haven't been on for a while, was so busy. My son Glenn was chosen as one of the five garden designers for the Rte 1 tv show "Super Garden" and it has been all go, go, go with helping him on site for about five weeks. His lovely girlfriend, Aiva, came over from Latvia to help too and the garden owners are so happy with the result. You can watch it here in Ireland every Tuesday night for the series. Two have been shown so far and three to go with Glenn's being the last one.  It was hectic for Glenn but so much fun and he is happy with what he achieved in his first ever attempt at designing a garden and he hopes to do this for the future! :-)
Other than that, I am not going ahead with the exhibition at Ardgillan after all - complications with setting it up. So I will set another exhibition date at a future time, maybe before end of year or next year.
I have been commissioned to do a large painting for a new house build and I am so happy with that and it will be a challenge as I have never done one this size before - it is 100cm x 70cm. I will put up a pic when completed.  I have also entered two pieces to the Eigse Carlow Arts Festival an waiting to see if I am accepted. So that's it for the mo.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. :-) x
