March 31 is the first day of our exhibition, 'A Sense of Place' for the National Trust at Nunnington Hall, near Helmsley. It's also an opportunity to meet the four of us, Anne Thornhill, Paul Blackwell, Peter Hicks and me as we will be there from 11.00am to 3.00pm. We have all enjoyed working at some of the most beautiful sites and lovely buildings and hope that we have done justice to some of the Nation's treasured possessions.

This year is a year of decision and work. After four busy and successful exhibitions last year I feel I need a year t consider my work and spend more time looking! Anyway next year looks as if it will be another busy one with two possible major exhibitions still to be painted for!
So this year my work's in the Coast Gallery, Cloughton near Scarborough, and some pictures will be in group exhibitions, such as the forthcoming Whitby Art Society Annual selling exhibition from 1st April to 7 May at the Pannett Gallery in Whitby.

Sixmore days and Staithes Festival begins with the Preview (7,00pm until 9.00pm) followed by two glorious days of Art Music and Heritage. It's worth spending the weekend in such a rich atmosphere, even though the artists and performers don't get to see as much as they'd like to, being too busy enjoying the company of thousands of visitors. Here's to fine weather and another buzzing weekend for this very beautiful and special ancient fishing village.
