Just a note to say that I am also exhibiting at the moment in Pebbles Yard in St Davids during August.
Looking forward to coming back to Bath as I was at college in Corsham more years ago than I care to remember, and lived in Bath for about 10 years when I was at college. It was a good place to be young, but at the grand age of 32 I decided to move to a cottage by the sea, and have lived here ever since with a growing menagerie of children and cats and dogs.
