Into October now and I’m piling on the layers. The weather outside is bright and sunny, but very cold and the Converse trainers have been replaced with warm socks and furry boots. It‘s quite cosy though down in my Jamaica Street workshop and I am busy getting a stack of frames ready for my next project. I’m rather excited about this because I have been employed to frame and install a series of photographs in two popular Edinburgh eateries. Completion is scheduled for early November so watch this space for updates on its progress.
The auction (Billy’s Big Charity Auction) that I blogged about last month was a huge success and raised over £10,000 on the night, so well done to everyone involved including hubs Mike Coulter who took these brilliant photos of the event.
I have just framed a cracking photograph on behalf of Theakstons (commissioned by cor agency) which recently won an award in the UK’s biggest pub photography competition Pub Life.
It was won by acclaimed snapper Graham Cornthwaite, who co-incidentally, was unofficial photographer at our wedding 19 years ago. I say unofficial because he was actually a guest, but he had to ‘sing for his supper’ so to speak. Well done Corny!
The image makes me all nostalgic for a pint of Old Peculiar (a past favourite tipple), enjoyed in the warm and cosy interior of a good old-fashioned country boozer. Which I hope to be doing next week when we spend some much overdue quality time, renting a lovely cottage down in the Scottish Borders with my husband’s family. The workshop will be closed from 21st till the 31st October. See you in November.
