Thank you for contacting me about my comment on that "artwork"! I know I sounded very grumpy but it is particularly awful.
I read your blog, it is fantastic, I wish you all the best and will follow your progress and will be "saying the good word" for you, which is an Irish expression meaning you are in my thoughts. Liz Daly.
