Don't forget to pull the light chord, turn on the fans, and try out the scissors!

And I am flapping hard to keep up with them!
Below they are having a photo shoot with Chris Park, who is officially the most patient photographer in Scotland. Note that they are choosing to feed in the shadow of a monumental John Bellany, as well as a typically sensitive Still Life by James Fraser (which I think they would happily take part in!)
Something I learnt this week: it is a good thing to have an iron handy in the car, as well as an assistant to do the ironing.

I am very grateful to The Russell Trust for honouring "First do no harm" with their award.
I was also delighted to learn that they have received a prize from Inc Tank Gallery.

The Visual Arts Scotland Annual Exhibition is on at the Royal Scottish Academy until 1st March. Free admission.
