--- Quote from: mosey on August 24, 2013, 08:56:00 AM ---Ross, I recently retired from architectural practise after 50 years and now paint watercolors full-time when not in the shop. I'll be painting in Oxford in 2 weeks. See you there. Also did some cabinet-making. Mosey --- End quote --- Ah, Oxford? Is something happening there, I'm new to the site so am not up on much yet? PeteW, if you're still watching can you fill me in? It would be great to see you there. If you know anything about ink pen & wash, I'd love to learn that, I've just started using "magic markers" after a long break and I'm sure there must be an easier way to get things done! |

You're probably giving me too much credit re capabilities. I'm learning as much as you doing this, if not more! I've done a couple or three courses in wood-butchery and knocked up a few bits of stuff round the garden is all. Like most things in life, I think it's 80% confidence and 5% skill wot gets the job done. The other 15% is tea, hob-nobs and the manual! :coffee: |

Yes, fond recall. Ice climbing, drinking beer, and nude hiking in the snow. I miss them. |

I miss them. --- End quote --- Hmmm, we have at least one hobby in common then :beer: I knew a chappie from Gateshead who liked Ice climbing, but being from Gateshead, he'd only put on a long sleeved shirt when the mercury froze in the thermometer. I'm not a climber, even though I lived in Sheffield for a while, where they're mad for it! I've walked up Snowden a few times, Ben Wyvis (not Nevis), that tall hillock in the Lake District and I did try hoisting myself up a string in the peaks at Stanage Edge. I can't even climb a ladder to clean the upstairs windows! |

The chappie I knew was a chappette...Gunilla was her name, from northern Sweden. She taught me to swear as well, in Swedish. This makes me smile :beer: :) :) Mosey |
