So many techniques!
By EileenI wanted to drop a note to say I have now received the various pieces that I did on the course and I was very pleased with them all. It prompted me to write to say how much I enjoyed the course and ask you to pass on my thanks to Sarah and Nigel. We covered so many techniques, some of which I may never try again, but many of which I am excited to try myself now. It did mean the pace was fast but everyone on the course gave it all a go and that enabled us to try everything.
Feel equipped to move on now. Thanks again.
