Thanks for all your kind words and observations. 

Well, my good fortune continued the next day, Sunday. As part of the Thyme 
Festival, the local Council put up a medium-sized open-sided tent (gazebo 
?) and for a nominal fee those who applied could exhibit for sale or 
whatever, their pictures from 10 am to 2 pm.. Turned out that just 4 of us 
including a local photographer who is still shooting medium format and who 
is in the process of setting up a framing studio in his home, were in it. He 
had perhaps 100 prints there; I had just 8.

I didn't matter that I did not sell any (hardly anybody did, it was 
unseasonally 
cold and windy, and that seemed to have people keep their hands in their 
pockets); but I had plenty of interest and also good feedback from the 
previous night.

To cap it all off I had an offer to hang 6 of my prints at a local country 
cafe/gallery. I accepted promptly. :-)

Oh, and I forgot; at the evening the night before I chatted to one of the (well 
known locally) paint artists and told her of some procedural difficulties I was 
having with watercolour painting, and she offered to put me in touch with a 
local painting group for guidance.

So it's been a great 2 days for me.

And I must say also ... I know I have not been able to absorb all the advice 
you guys have given me, but I think some has stuck where it matters.
Whatever anybody might say about my level of attainment, that I have 
reached where I have is due in large measure the all the Zuikoholics of this 
group who have nudged, cajoled and advised me for many years past. 
Thanks guys.

Brian Swale
