A taxing week!

So - the government are supposed to be helping small businesses are they? Well I for one are not finding that - having fallen foul of the tax on account system I am under pressure now to change what I do to survive. I have my fingers in plenty of pies and pride myself in running an honest and fair business but I feel like I am working for the government now, not myself, God only knows what the outcome will be if things don't change - I dread to think how specialist portrait photographers are managing having seen a general decline as it is a luxury product, oh well, beans on toast for a while it seems!
Next week sees the start of our wonderful Drama Festival, the biggest of its kind in the country, i have just loaded all the galleries, on my site ready to fill them with images of the festival - lots of late nights in the pipeline now but well worth the effort as everyone works so hard to make it a festival to be proud of and it is great to be a part of it. Dick Jones of Jones creative services has produced a great programme and is selling badges to commemorate the event so visit the drama festival website to order one - www.leatherheaddramafestival.org.
This swine flu is a bit worrying eh? a blonde friend of mine was worried about filling her car with petrol the other day until I reassured her that is was Mexico, not Texaco she had to avoid. . . . not a laughing matter I know but it did make me smile!!
