7th July 2008. Residency day 31. The big move

Got all of our stuff out of the studio, took the thatch off and moved the cottage out of Walsall.

5th July 2008. Residency day 30

The second tea party....we got up at midnight and made 150 scones.
the weather was bad, rain all day. So we held the party inside in the foyer. Which was very different because it had become a private space within the public gallery and now it was to become public too. It was much darker inside and therefore more intimate, the advantage of having the party inside was that the wind dint blow everything off the table and more people came in.

We love providing food for people.

both went in to do the finishing touches before the last tea party.

this is a place we drive past, a miniature cottage in worcestershire.

3rd July 2008. Residency day 28

Just one of us went in. Added the last beams, tidied the studio ready to move on. We want to try to get some drawings done tomorrow.

Tonight our drawing of the winged mobile cottage is being shown at G39 in Cardiff.

The hottest day of the year. It was great to get the cottage out into the sunshine. It felt like giving birth.We made 100 scones, and about 60 were eaten.
