Steve and I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the love and generosity shown by everyone last Friday at our 'retirement' barbecue organised by the incredibly talented new Director of Artboxarts CIC, the one and only Peggy Sue Wright. We were really, truly not expecting the cards and gifts you brought with you. Well, not that many! Your kind and thoughtful words not only in your cards but also in the book (of which we were totally ignorant) will stay with us forever. We were well-advised not to look at the book until we got home. Very wise advice. Sobbing Murrays is not something you would have wanted to witness. But sob we did, from sheer happiness and gratitude. You lovely, lovely lot. Every one of you will receive a personal thank you from us; we just ask for a little time as we are still reeling emotionally from the sheer wonderfulness of it all.

Oh, and see you all on Tuesday.

We were honoured by a visit from Kathryn 'Slowhand' Creed (she of the legendary Kathryn and The Kritters) as she wowed us all with her rendition of their famous hit single 'Chocolate Cheesecake Blues' complete with its stompin' eight-minute guitar solo. Kathryn is now embarking on a world tour with tickets selling, literally, like hotcakes.

We were up at The Locks Inn on Saturday to replace the two paintings by George which sold last week - a flying start! All the comments have been very positive and we're waiting to hear whether the show will be extended into September. Technical issues mean we haven't been able to post photos - hopefully the glitch will be gone tomorrow. Anyway, we keep saying so but it really is worth a visit...

The Locks show

Our latest exhibition is up and running at The Locks Inn at Geldeston, near Bungay, and a more beautiful site would be hard to find. It's a community-owned pub and an absolute gem serving delicious food, b**r and lots more. They're open seven days a week in the summer (11 am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 11am to 8pm on Sundays) and the show is on throughout August. We can guarantee a lovely time in their beautiful garden by the river Waveney as well as some great art.

Halesworth Ale Day; what a fantastic time was had by all! Robin Pink was in his element, congratulated in the opening speech for his artwork and rewarded with six bottles of Ale adorned with his winning label. The tapping ceremony was duly performed, the town was heaving all day long and our Artbox stall very busy with people designing their own b**r mats. Josh and George, our ever-present Artbox ambassadors, did us proud. Thank you guys.
Also huge thanks to Kelly from the Town Council who worked so hard to make the day happen and for her unfailing good humour. We can't wait for the next one!
