Hi Dave Thank you for your kind and non technical human words!
Should be great to come to London when I can afford it You and your family are welcome in our German home, before I need to sell it because of money shortage, a small share of costs in the heating and rent will suffice, I figured out I can manage until July august this summer, afterwards it will be unable to maintain this property which is meant to be a low cost residency for not so much money earning artists. Check it out at : http://nictoglobe.com/new/query2.html?d=residency&f=abv Same goes for other list members, lurkers and passers by!
