A (Director's) Cut Above

It was my birthday earlier this month and Chrissy bought me a new video camera. Well there's no stopping me now - 'Move Over, Mr. Spielberg!' 

As soon as I've mastered the instruction manual (and looking at the length of it this may take several months) we're planning to start putting short video clips onto the website, showing a number of decorating tips and tricks as well as various techniques that you may find of interest

I say "As soon as I've mastered" as I don't want to fall into the same trap as an old schoolmate of mine did when he bought a special underwater camera to record his sub-aqua dives. It was a complicated yellow thing and I wasn't sure even which way round it was supposed to point. Neither did he - the first roll of 36 photographs were all of his nose!

Keep watching for our first upload (I promise it won't be of my nose)

    Finally got the bottom office cleared. Now have private space where I can lock myself away and paint (musn't let Ian get hold of the keys!)
