Yours truly - has been

It is good to report that the House of Dun Christmas Craft Fair was a roaring success despite the weather. So much so, that an Easter Craft Fair is now being planned for Sunday 4 and Monday 5 April featuring an Easter Bunny Trail. I wonder who the Easter Bunny will be? Suggestions please!

I shall furnish you with details of other up and coming ACA Craft Fairs as soon as they are confirmed.

On the Enterprise 'link' front, the magical Tessa Mendez was invited to judge a hat competition at Arbroath High School, the fabulous Janet Mcfarlane was in contact with Birkhill Primary School about Christmas crafts, and yours truly has been asked to present a number of workshops at a Kirriemuir Primary Schools Cluster careers day in March. ACA is in demand. 'Has been' can just about be read two ways.

Our Christmas tree is up but the lights are scattered around the floor. As usual none work. It seems to me that every year we buy new lights. Maybe we should just bin the lot every year instead of storing in the loft to be binned the following year. I'm sure this could be applied to many things. Like electrical tape, tweezers, sticky labels, reading glasses, all of which I spend days of my life looking for. I also lose the cats now and again. The thing about cats tho' is, they're never lost.

Through the lovely Cheryl, I met up with thrill seekers Suzy and Kay this week. They're off to Antartica (sic) in February, and having just bought new DSLRs, wanted some tips on how to use them. I advised them to keep the dial on 'auto' and sit near the window in the saloon bar. Advice and life can be simple at times. They were an engaging and enthusiastic pair and I look forward to their slideshows of penguins and icebergs.

Enjoy your Christmas.
