Others were dotted around on the lawn under sun umbrellas, fully laden vines nearby, replete with good food and wine. Barely weeks later and our world as we know it has changed. Several of our well known Miniature Exhibitions and Fairs have been cancelled in Australia and our own show in Greytown also. But we are a resourceful lot! I for one am busy thinking of ways I can motivate others. Roger is planting double the amount in his veggie garden, to help others who can’t work in the weeks to come. Even though we have been told to self isolate because of our age we have quite a bit we can do. And I will have to double my efforts to use up all the materials I have to hand, being unable to pop down to the shops! Maybe this will make my studio tidier! I hope you like the workshops this month. Keep safe! Regards, Jill and Little Mac
