Week One

It's been a week since my arrival in the New Forest, Hampshire. So far, so good. It's a 2 month residency with Artsway, so I don't want to rush into making any work immediately. In fact, since my arrival, I've been behaving like a tourist - going to farmer's shops, checking out some thatched cottages, stroked a few donkeys and spending loads of money (£48-50) on 10 postcards!! They are lovely though...some dating back to 1910, with beautiful hand written messages. I'll scan them and show everyone soon.

Incidentally, all the postcards are of Dorchester...which is my current source of interest. Dorchester will see a lot of me in the coming weeks - as I am interested in it's history and architecture, and how it came to be, that it has inspired a town developer to build a Dorchester in Chengdu, China!!

More on that in a few days.
