Off to Morpeth

Today I’m heading off on a train to Morpeth in the Hunter Valley, to teach a Portuguese Whitework class. I’m sure we’ll have a lovely day together.

Since getting back from the cruise, I’ve caught up on all the orders, and have even cleaned up my desk. (I needed to make room to fit my laptop back on it!)

I’ve started planning the photography for the new book, seeing I have now completed five of the projects. Over the past week, the colour scheme and “visual theme” has been forming in my head.

I’ve been working madly on a tablecloth, and am making great progress there.

I have been getting a lot of enquiries for teaching next year. Unfortunately for you, if you haven’t already got a booking with me, you’re not going to get one for next year. I have decided to pretty much take the year off teaching (bar a few bookings that I already have) to concentrate on writing. This year I have had so much teaching that I really haven’t had the chance to write. So next year is going to be a writing year.

I am happy to take tentative bookings for 2015 already. In fact, I already have a few, so don’t delay! I probably can’t give you firm dates just yet, but we can settle on a month.

I have also decided, that unless the booking is for a conference, retreat or large seminar, I will limit my bookings to weekend classes only, not weekday bookings. This will fit better with my family, who are, of course, my first priority. The Gymnast especially has lots to do on weekdays, and if I’m not there to take my girls to their activities, someone else has to do it, which is a lot to ask.
