I think we all need a little bit of a pat on the back. Those of us who are working hard to contribute to the material culture of our times. I think of Fred and Gareth who through exhibitions get that support, that bit of encouragement to keep them going. This morning I had a long chat with david old field, one of the best cabinet makers I know. Like me he works almost entirely for private clients. Seldom do the wider public get to see his masterpieces yet he continues none the less. Then I thought of yesterday's troll who I doubtcontrobutes anything to the world. Just snide comments, trying to make the world a worse place to live. When he dies there will be nothing left. There really will have been no reason for his life.
