what a fantastic start. we opened our doors at ten o'clock and i didn't sit down for the rest of the day. dan coloured an open and closed sign and helped me to put out the trees. at two minutes past ten our good friends craig and judith arrived from levenshulme, and from then on a steady stream of friends and local people wishing us well, kept us busy. some of the artists too, joined us to celebrate and by five o'clock we'd sold several paintings and a buddle of cards. john's pottery was popular too.
on monday (even though we're closed) some new friends asked if they could buy a few last minute gifts. not a problem - one of the joys of living on the property. individual viewings are definitely something we want to promote, as we realise our school-friendly hours won't suit everyone. we're also going to open extra days in the run up to christmas.

It was nice to meet you and see the gallery open again. I'm glad the first day went so well!
