An Exhibitionist? Me?

After a delivering three pictures to be submitted to the York Art Society Spring Exhibition, and a tense few hours, I found out that the pictures are in and I am officially exhibiting for the first time! I went along to the opening night of the exhibition last night, there are some really beautiful pictures and it's amazing to have my pics hanging alongside them. The three I've submitted are Daffodils, York Minster in Silhouette and a new one of Bamburgh Castle (you can see them all on my on-line gallery). Anyway, it's all dead exciting, even more so because my lovely co-artist Celia Q has three of her beautiful pictures in the exhibition as well. So if you're meandering past the Merchant Adventurer's Hall in York this week, wander in and take a look. In other news, I've just started twittering - more out of a sense of curiosity rather than a need to tell everyone what I'm having for my tea (and also because I thought it might be a good way to spread the news about my Moonwalk and perhaps raise some more money). Anyway, if you're twittering too you can follow me at www.twitter.com/moonwalkinglady - plus my twitter updates are now available on this page. How very 21st century.

I'm Moonwalking

If you have met me in the past few weeks you will no doubt have heard me talking about the Edinburgh Moonwalk - I have signed up to do the 26 mile walk around Edinburgh in June in aid of breast cancer charities. It's for a great cause and I'm trying to raise as much money as possible, so if you would like to sponsor me please follow this link www.bmycharity.com/v2/pennyfoster. Anyway my training for the event has officially begun, I am getting out as much as possible and trying to work on my walking technique (why does no-one ever tell you there's a 'proper' way of walking?). I have discovered a great site called mapmywalk.com which records the walks that I do, and you can see my progress on the right in terms of distance travelled so far - hmmm some way to go I think.
