A teacher at the local school, Columbia Rd Primary, which is directly opposite my shop has suffered a terrible stroke that has left her disabled. The school is organising an auction to raise money to help make her home more suitable for her condition. This woman who has given of herself helping our children learn and grow now needs our help. Please visit their website to see how it is possible to contribute !

We have just packed up in Somerset House and are moving back to the studio tomorrow. 14,000 people came to see the show over the 12 (Continuous!) days we were there !! I f you were one of those that made it down then I hope you enjoyed it !

Whilst we were working there we did a nice big papercut, our website designer and friend Karl made a time lapse film of it being cut out, follow this
Link

it takes a while to load, it kind of stops and starts so I went and made a cup of tea and when I'd got back to the computer it had finished playing it's way through , I pressed play again and it played lovely and smoothly second time.



Also if you go to this link

there is a filmed interview with me talking lots of rubbish !!

Quite a few people have blogged about the show so if you weren't able to make it in person you can get quite a good overview of the whole 'Pick me Up' show by following these few links -
