You know what makes me grumpy? All the Grumpy Old Men who appeared on the BBC TV series were younger than me, that's what makes me grumpy. Mutter, mutter....

THE TOLL CLOCK CENTRE AGAIN!

A fortnight ago, after I'd spent a day, in sub-zero temperatures, trying to sell my prints and postcards to a non-existent clientele at the Toll Clock Shopping Centre, I swore I would never darken the door of that place again. Which is why I set off there again yesterday to have another attempt. This time it was different though. There was no snow, the roads were clear, and a goodly number of eager shoppers were thronging the centre. I sold lots of prints and postcards, making the effort of getting my stuff there and setting the stall up well worthwhile. I met many old friends, including my neighbouring stallholder, jeweller Sue Hudson, and made many new ones. Perhaps the highlight of the day was selling a print to our MSP Tavish Scott - I'm very pleased about that! And now I'm thinking about next Saturday - should I?.......
