…went to the secret location in the weekend….…the weather was Autumn…but I got a feed of field mushrooms……which went well with the two and a half kgs of bacon I had to make disappear after the fridge/freezer malfunction earlier in the week……replaced the stylus on the holiday home stereo and dug into my holiday crate…….mucked about in the sketch book….….did some shonky cider powered math….…and made a (second attempt) passable jig for round-frame things……worked harder than when I’m actually working…….a marvellous break from the shop….…here are some directions to the secret location….

Undisclosed Location

…but here’s a clue…

 

…and another from the the front window….(you can see the road but those on the road can’t see you)…

 

…fire on….

…gear stowed….

..time to relax & enjoy the scenery….

…have dinner & start mucking about with a pen….

…and drinking…

 

…it’s always a pleasure to find a great table to drink work at …

 

…day one…

…first order of business…

 

…don’t try this at home or on holiday…

 

…and for day two….

….always have a rainy day project in reserve…

 

 

…even if it means doing what you do for a living on your holiday…

…there are benefits….

…try not to talk to the local flora….

…and be careful which pot you use…..

…eat properly (goat sausages!!!,…I love my local butcher)….

…whilst not loosing sight of the main reason for getting away from it all…

 

…which was….

…trying to aggregate all of the ideas running around in the sketch book with the aim of gaining some semblance of order with a hint of logical time flow…

 

….it took hours & hours & hours….

 

…but…(spoiler alert for those who won’t be able to resist embiggening*)…

…the results were….

…er…results….

 

 

…that’s close to 50 individual story ideas (at a very rough count)…22 pages worth of those already plotted…

…and then I put all the nice clean records back in their covers ….

 

…and went home.
