What was so special about the 23rd November? I am sure there were many births, marriages and deaths on that particular day. Perhaps people were distracted by other things happening? Whatever the reason I didn’t get any visits to this tiny crevice of the internet. Anyone who has come here before will know that I don’t do this for the holy trinity of the online world: Hits, Likes and Subscribe. But nowadays I rarely see no visits. We all live in an interesting world.
Yesterday was a good day. We took the long road to Uppingham through SE Leicestershire. The purpose of the trip was to visit the Goldmark Gallery. Each time I visit the gallery I am transported to the commercial art world of the West End of London. The notional reason for this visit was to view the new Picasso exhibition. It was all very good (its Picasso so no surprise there). But this isn’t the charm place. No that is walking around the rabbit warren of nooks and crannies to see what is being exhibited where. One of my favourites was the toilet. Whilst you are using the facilities you can take in a series of prints by Toulouse Lautrec. On top of this the staff are always friendly and helpful. Just wish I had the spare cash to but some of the exceptional work. Are well it is a big payout on the Euro Lottery tonight. We can all dream.
Anyway, if you are in the area it is always a good place to visit and enjoy.

Simon, I’m not sure how all this works but one reason you did not get any visits is that the post can be read in the email, and there is no need to actually visit the site. I may be totally wrong and please correct me if I am. I thought the email could just be a brief summary of the post, a teaser if you like, but I was never able to find out how to do that. Just a thought.. John
John, Thanks for this…I’m not sure about many things to do with WordPress. I wasn’t aware that my Blog came through as an eMail for example. I’m really not bothered whether anyone looked at my blog on any particular day. It is always wonderful when someone interacts with my work but that is not why I’m doing this. I have no intention of turning this into anything other a space where I can bloviate and show my photos and artwork. The fact that someone like yourself actually cares is very gratifying and I thank you once more.
