30th April, day 7

Got into Walsall at 11 ish - starting to find our way round the black country roads.half the ring road is dug up but managed to get thro diversion and found some free parking close to the gallery/saw our mate Jake at the desk waiting to have a meeting.

Black beams look great


talked to some local art students today who seemed interested in the project. showed them studio and trailer and they all went in - 4 at a time - and sat down. one really liked the smell!

at one point two sisters in their 60's knocked on the studio door and were telling us they were amazed to see the trailer downstairs as they remember their father owning one and told us they were brought up in trailers as they were showpeople. We chatted about airsteams and American trailers that her son had seen in Iowa.

Emailed a master thatcher about finials.
