Hi Karen, I'm sorry I missed you on Sunday. To be honest, I think I just needed a day off after doing so much...
Actually, I was not aware that you were in the country. Last I heard you were travelling in your small van around Europe, you nomad you... Have nice time in Bristol, I think you know that I used to live there - let us know in advance next time you visit the gallery. Oh yes, and much thanks for coming anyway - have been getting many calls from others visiting so I think it's going to be quite a well attended exhibition. wishing you well. marc > I just wanted to say that I visited the show this Sunday and I thought > it was pretty good, the way it was all set-up and put together must of > taken ages - you folks are obsessed I think, I just wish there were > other places in London doing similar things.
