It doesn't seem like 4 months since I packed up my workshop in the vieux village of Roquebrune Cap Martin but winter is almost over and the irises and wattle are announcing the coming of spring, and still I have not found a new place to work!
My 'old' studio is being renovated and rejuvenated - and a transformation is certainly taking place. It certainly won't be the place for mucky silversmithing when the work is completed in a couple of months. So, my search continues.....
There are lots of places sitting idle in the village but it seems owners are not very keen on renting them - my suspicion is that there is so much bureaucracy involved, so much paperwork, and after charges and taxes the small income earned is just not worth it. And so I wait, with eyes and ears open.
Meantime, I am putting my time to good use and attacking some of the other 'things I would like to do', one of which is to revamp this website - watch this space! I am going to amalgamate this site with my emedee-silver blogspot, so there should be some changes soon - feedback will be welcome!
