the weeks are so busy of late that it seems an age between each blog post, in reality it is barely 2weeks.
The survey of the castle continues as I work my way through my own programme of self perceived tasks of importance, being a project of faith I have little more to do really in firm belief that if the project is to happen all those necessary to its success will appear along the journey,; as the Buddist saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
the third video diary of that research is currently being edited with its narrative and will be posted on the Facebook Site ( Kendal Castle Poppy Bid ) as soon as this is finished
while waiting, here is a link to other video diaries from the castle project Day I.mp4
Of most surprise to me was the number of military related charities who have joined the following some of which I had never heard of before as they were so new, charities such as Jimmy Jukes ukhomesfor heroes and Soldiersoffthestreet Scotland , also very supportive through their commercial manager Graham O'Callaghan, who I met on Saturday last, have been Kendal Town Football Club Kendal Town FC , John Bateson the former Town Mayor, Sara Last, the Centre Manager at Farfield Mill Arts Centre and my own Legion, all of whom have offered support of one kind or another to the Castle Bid.
The walk up the hill is continues to be too physically demanding to be able to make the journey on a daily basis which allows me much time to continue spreading the word, both by word of mouth and via the Facebook site , the site was set up around 9 days ago during which time it has attracted over 250 friends, the very nature of Facebooks viral nature is far greater than I had imagined with those 250 contacts bringing potential access to just over 100,000 people via their friends.
This week it seemed was media week, Lakeland Radio, The Bay radio station and the local gazette all picking up on the story, the fotographer from the gazette joined me yesterday at the castle, a frustrating but nonetheless an important interruption to the joy of work, she was not alone with several curious individuals obviously intrigued by my seeming unusual antics around their historical building, it all adds to help spread the word through their networks.
thats it for now, in the studio, I am getting a lot done in between the Castle works as I continue building on the Pollock inspired theme, more of that in another BLOG.
prayers to you all for a peaceful and worry free weekend
