Sponsor a picture frame.
This is very exciting time of my life. I have an exhibition organised for the first week in September in a very posh gallery in London, next door to the Tate Gallery. The gallery kindly gave me the space for free for a week. The excitement nearly gave me a heart attack. My friend Deb Frith from Oz who is over on holiday in the UK. Came all the way from London to sort out a decade of my work for a whole day and night. She was over whelmed by the amount of exciting original work and felt she was in a sweat shop, as I pulled more and more work out to show her. Then at the end of the day we discovered I would need a lot of work framed. Deb rang the picture framers and it will cost thousands of pounds and the show being only 4 weeks away, it is a dilemma. Then we came up with an idea of sponsor a picture frame. So if you fancy sponsoring a picture frame or donating a few pounds towards a picture frame please do. I will also send you an invite to the private view which is going to have a leading band at the opening night and very famous Art stars. I have to do all the publicity myself so spread the word it will the first week in September. If you are in London and want to see the real Britain come a long and see my show. Details will be published when I have made a poster in the next week.

Knock Knock film
Eloise and Deb Frith meet up after 7 years at Clifton suspension bridge.Many years ago I went on a film Directors course in Melbourne with my friend Deb Frith, it was great fun. The first day on arrival I had been out to lunch with Deb and had one two many drinks, then went into the class room late and stumbled over some chairs and landed on top of Australia's top comedian Ross Daniels who was also on the course. After the course Ross decided to make a film and wanted me and Deb in on it. So I was Arts director and Deb was the Producer, we also took down to Melbourne my friend Stephen Hince to do lighting. When we got there to make the film Ross had gathered up all the comedians he knew to help make it and picked out some famous actors to be in the film. One of which stars in Neighbours now. I was in charge of rain making which I had always wanted to do since a child and had brought with me a lot of umbrellas from the Badde Manors lost propriety to cover the lights. In the end the fire hoses didn't work for the larger scene so we had to call the fire brigade who over the moon to be making rain for Australia's stars.
I got my friend Dave Odgers to do some sound track with his new recording equipment and then a young editor, put the film together and made brilliant credits for it.
The film was suppose to go in the Tropicana film festival in Sydney but got rejected, then it got entered into St.Kilda film festival and won best comedy film. I unfortunately was sent back to Europe and missed the seeing the film at the festival and all these years had no idea till I saw my friend Deb that the film had won prizes. All this time I thought I was suppose to be a artist and maybe I should be working on comedy films. I must say working with the OZ comedians was the best laugh I ever had. Seeing Deb again brought up the giggles.
So some time soon I am going to put my head down and work on some more films.
If anyone sees Ross Daniels the comedian can you tell him to up load the Film called Knock Knock to You tube.

Join Ecotricity now !

Elections tomorrow for Norwich North and the Green party have a good chance of getting in. It is very important to vote for the Green Party as there needs to be a huge push for Green Issues.
In Leonora an area of Australia, Uranium mining is about to start happening. This is something the locals would not not want and the rest of the planet does not need more of as once its out of the ground and used for energy there is no real way of disposing it. It will just float around in the oceans and land in your vege patch on any part of the planet. If you see how quickly pig flu spreads then just imagine how quickly Uranium waste gets around. Also in Australia The shooters party are trying to pass a bill to shoot all Australian native animals in the forests. How crazy is that, when there people like the RSPCA trying to save animals. We need Green people in powerful positions to help make changes and fight to hold on to rainforest's and promote Green energy.
I joined Ecotricity several years ago they match other local electric companies bills, so your not paying any more for your electricity bill by joining them. Then they spend the whole bill on reinvesting in alternative energy for electricity. They mostly build Windmills and also are trying to develop other forms of electricity. They also have developed an Eco car here in Norfolk.
Before I joined Ecotricity I rang every electric company in the country to see what they were doing for alternative green energy and every single one them said they were doing nothing. I got very honest telephone assistant. They all said they would would rather be working for a green energy company and told me to start one. But after lots of research I found Ecotricity, so there is little point in me starting my own alternative energy company when they is already one out there doing a very good job.
Windmills are nothing new they use to be all over the landscape grinding grains and pumping water. We just need to go back to the old way. If I had a big building to power I would certainly get a wind mill and solar panels.
In Sydney there is a whole area that has a rule to have every house decked out with solar panels.
25 years ago when I was in Saudi Arabia which is an oil country, they had already been decked out with solar panels. I even saw them on public telephone boxes.
Join Ecotricity today as you contribution to the planet and vote green in every election.

Back in Norwich its all election time again and the Green party up for a seat, we only live in hope, vote, vote, vote.

Alien Bread
After experimenting with cooking some ground wheat from a corn circle in Norfolk, the bread turned out like this. I still can't get my head around why corn circles are called corn circles when they are in wheat fields. Also why are corn dolly's made from wheat stalks?I should be experimenting with wheat, yeast, gluten, egg free bread but have had so many bad starts on it. I gave up hope.
Wondering if this bread is a sign that I should open a bread shop. But I don't have the dough to get started in this business.
