Epilogue No. 5

 Aaron, please could you remove the laughing faces on friends art work and exhibition opening post. She has worked incredibly hard and overcome a lot to get that show up. It’s very disrespectful what you have done. I don’t understand why you have felt the need to belittle another artist trying to make a living. 

I hope you are well and happy my friend and not having a hard time at all, for this is the only reason I can see for you doing such a thing. Any help in the matter much appreciated x

A very Good Evening to you Amelia 😌 

My goodness a little laughing emoji really can cause controversy can't it ... Don't let the poor dear read anything I've ever written 😬  how's she going to handle the public 😳

No man , that's callous ... You know I have a propensity to be" bar room blunt " 

Of course I'll take it down ... I did apologize to Amanda for the apparent offense too 

The knee jerk reaction - tells me that everyone is a little tense right now - I'm a little offended that you feel I would belittle anyone's efforts beyond a respective level of professional competitive contempt ... But come on we are in the arts , and maker , Wel as I do reflect ...personally I've got mixed feelings about how everything went all council affiliated national trust model , I know everyone that lives somewhere for a long time gets all precious and defensive at a whiff of criticism - I find it everywhere I go , and the rame peninsula is one of many intrinsically beautiful and interesting places , filled with beautiful and interesting souls...and yes we are all trying to make a living , but a point if many that I'm making is that not everyone has a government funded project in a beauty spot , with a well established , well intentioned volunteers ( or as I reflected in conversations with your dad ) the new wave of English peasantry that are charged with building back better , keeping calm and carrying on .... So that estate agents have perks to put in the brochures as we are all priced out if living here.... But if a rant , and I think I probably tried to articulate a little better in my rather long winded response to Amanda 

Personally I'm not too bad actually ....thank you, the long-winded complaint I've maintained against Plymouth city council seems to have escalated into something if epic proportions , it's a lottery sized law suit for sure , so I'm looking to buy a couple of houses to run as my own weird little offbeat studios , I formed a teacher's union, I'm in the process of incorporating a place of worship ( as a demonstrative example of non compliance with council tax 😆 ) , and I've just started to mint some silver coins out of the silver ore about the place ...of course still painting and designing this and that the current exhibition is certainly an Avant Garde affair ( I'll send a link ) , as always completely unappreciated in my own  time ,

 and likewise I do hope that you and Mike and the youngen are all well and happy 

Definitely send my love to your mum and dad too  x

And I would love it if we could all rendezvous for a catch up and a chewing of the fat soon 😁

Thank you my dear ❤️ 

I’m not sure how she will handle the public either but any lessening of stress would do the girl good right now. Plus her artwork is beautiful so I guess your laughing face could be sen as jealousy 😆 eek ! I’ll tell her that’s what it was 😂 

Sorry could help myself, I won’t do that.  I’m jesting. 

Wow sounds as if your plate is gloriously full of big stuff. Glad you are well in it ! 

Would love a chewing of the fat soon.

Dad not doing so great these days but hope on the horizon.

He just has to get to next spring 🙏 which he shall ! 

Opening a place of worship 😆 I love it ! Ahh the loopy holes are good for arty holes x 

I will send your love of course x 

Thanks again for removing emojis. Will be good for ....

Of course .... Consider me ' bitterly brusque but amiable ' 😊 

I wouldn't at all be offended if you wanted to suggest a tinge of professional envy to redeem the misunderstanding x
