Afterthought So. How many of you have thought about this teaching thing? Like most new ventures, it may seem like a huge leap (for mankind), but really it is just a development of what you already do - talking to people about your favourite subject. That’s all there is to it - but if you are thinking about teaching a couple of friends around your kitchen table, but don’t know how to start, contact Gill or me and we can have a chat. What have you been doing? Have you attended any workshops, or classes? Or have you been to visit an exhibition, or show? Tell us all about it. We’d love to see pictures and hear what you thought of it. For Julie and me, we’ve found loads of beautiful gardens to visit and photograph. When I see them, I think that there is no point me doing any gardening when these people make such a good job of it - and let me walk around them! Are you a gardener? Do you get inspired to paint the individual flowers, or the whole scene, like Monet? Me - I’m an architecture kind of person. Kim
