Those of you who prefer Mum’s landscapes may have wondered why we chose to start our venture by exhibiting only her nudes at the upcoming St Albans Art Society Summer Exhibition. There is a reason for this. The entire ‘One Mile from Home’ output is so perfect for one exhibition that we thought that we would keep the whole years’ work for one art show in the village, before making them available for sale elsewhere. So, with the village hall being unavailable due to the endless round of judo, carpet bowls, silver threads, parish council meetings, ballet classes and other activities, where better (and cheaper) a venue than the place it started from – our own home. Well as you can imagine, a house with six of us living here (including one five year old) is going to need a fair bit of work on it to make it a suitable exhibition space. And then there’s all the work sorting out framing, mounting and cataloguing all the pictures. If any of you fans of Julie Oakley are likely to be in the St Albans area on September 13th, 14th or 15th this is when we’re planning to have the exhibition. I know she would love to meet some of her blogger friends in person. So mark the date in you calender and we’ll keep you updated.

I'm coming! As an honorary (not walking very far) member of One Mile From Home fan club how could I not be!
Just name that day and give me a prompt beforehand and I'll give the exhibition a profile on my blog.
If you want any help with a Press Release you could always try my guide here.
I'll be back in HK by then but I'll help with the preparations.

Great idea! Maybe one day my grandchildren will put my pictures together to sell to pay for their education!
