The Beetroot Tree News: Agreeing to disagree
http://beetroottreenews.blogspot.com/2013/11/agreeing-to-disagree.html
Thursday, 14 November 2013. Have you ever noticed that visiting a show by yourself is a different experience to visiting it with a companion? I often find that another pair of eyes on an artists' work helps me to see and feel more at an exhibition, even when we disagree about our reactions to it.

Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Goodbye (and thanks for all the fish? Today, a final posting for this blog of the Beetroot Tree gallery. Having made a move from the UK to New Zealand 2 years ago, the Beetroot Tree was handed over from my care into to new mentorship just before Christmas 2012. The decision has been made to close the doors to the public and begin the long process of sending work back to the artists and clearing out all of the 'stuff' which has accumulated in 15 years in the barn.

http://beetroottreenews.blogspot.com/2013/11/letter-from-over-indian-ocean.html
Saturday, 30 November 2013. Letter from over the Indian Ocean. I can’t believe that I am now in the air once more heading to New Zealand. I have spent 7 weeks in the UK, visiting groups to talk and teach, I had a stand at the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate and have been helping out (or sticking my oar in) at the Beetroot Tree. Mum and Dad, getting into the Christmas spirit. The main exhibitions this year included work by Dorothy Caldwell, Sue Chapman, Viv Prideaux, Bobby Britnell and Ruth Isset...
