Bits and Pieces

Am writing this hurriedly as I'm off to a Fashion Show in a few minutes!  Will there be photographs?  We'll see.  In the meantime I'll use some photos that have been in waiting for a while.  The name of this post is very annoying and takes me back to a time when I was teaching a Small Print Media subject at the Brighton Municipality's Bridgewater / Gagebrook SkillShare.  We hunted around for a name for our newsletter and someone came up with the name 'The Bright Bridge Gage Book' which I thought was brilliant.  We put it to the vote and 'Bits and Pieces' won by a huge majority.  Which is when I realised I would never make it in politics.  Another insight came when one girl suggested interviewing the chemist.  I thought it was a good idea and asked her why she thought it was important. 'Well, you go to the chemist everyday', she said.  This was the same girl who believed in disciplining children by hitting because it never did her any harm.  I wonder where she is now.

not much doing but

And where am I now?  Back from the Fashion Show at Buckland.  Great fun.  Tables groaning with finger food lunch.  Elegant outfits sourced from the Op Shop.  Mortal models who walk among us everyday.  But I wasn't game to take photos.
