Murston Old Church update



Murston Old Church is getting a small facelift in the spring Thanks to the lovely Danielle Smith aged 10 who wrote to Swale Borough Council about how disused and unloved the old church looked. They then sent it onto Colin Barnard (my partner) who contacted East Kent Gazette who ran a story on her and asking for flower ideas and donations

Now we have loads of daffodil bulbs kindly donated and now £75 from Martin Cleaver at Chalkwell coaches
Thank you everyone
Will keep you updated

Litter Angels 2011


We have started our Free workshops aimed at Eco schools across Swale. Milton Court Primary School pictured here with all their wonderful Litter bug creations

Only found out after the event that they are only 8 years old when project is aimed at 10 yr olds so these ones did amazing well - Thank you - when I turn up never sure where I am or who I am seeing!

Was joined by Matt Hogben from MacDonalds Sittingbourne - The Kids where fascinated by him but disappointed he rides a bike and doesn't own a porsche

They produced great posters which will be hanging in Unit 28 The Forum Shopping Centre Sittingbourne - My Art group has an empty shop but that another story follow that on facebook

Matt leading a helping hand!!!!

I have been working with Dean Tweedy, Matt Taylor, Shaz Hussain, Sally Reed, Sally Higgs and Chloe Epps on a Litter Angels project at Fulston Manor School in Sittingbourne all this week. Its been brilliant.

Thank you to all the wonderful pupils, teachers, staff and my fantastic artists. Its been their activity week and we have all helped create large scale installations in Gazebos throughout the school grounds based on environmental issues using recycled materials.

Apart from the art they made music, poetry and dance with other artists. Imagination, confidence and enthusiasm grew throughout the week and culminated in today's grand displays and entertainment which they showed off with great pride and expertise to their friends, parents and family, Mr Henderson MP , the Mayor, their Head Master and the rest of the staff and school. I was very honored to be a part of it
