working from home! Does it work well for you?
I work from home, a terraced property with no out look at all but I am only 200yds from a lovely area of oustanding natural splender called a fell. If I need a break I just take the dog for a walk, get some fresh air and enjoy the view. The thing that inspires me the most is the need to eat, 😆 Brian

I work from home Gray…a mid-terraced cottage though it is at the end of a quiet lane as it opens out into meadows.
I’ve had premises in the past but, to be honest, I’m happiest working from home as I do now. I have a small timber studio in the garden. I’ve never found it a problem to work by myself though some days are easier than others to get motivated. I find rockin’ loud music helps to revitalise me when I’m flagging. The thing that most frustrates me is having too many jobs on the go at any one time – I prefer to finish one thing before I start another. Working on my own also makes trips to other signmakers shops more special – a chance to chat, swap ideas and generally socialise.

Don’t worry about Portsmouth – as I said before It’s only just above sea-level anyway so come the great thawing of the polar ice-caps, it’ll be one of the first places to go!
By the way, my studio is only 16′ x 12′ – very small but because it’s compact I keep it nice and warm through the winter and I have crammed it with all manner of signs over the walls and even the ceiling so that it has a really colourful ‘grotto’ effect designed to overwhelm customers who visit…and it works too – you can see them look all round and even up when they first step in! I’m trying to impress ’em – sure – but I also want them to expand their ideas about what they could have on their own sign or vehicle – I want them to feel like the preverbial ‘kid in a sweet shop’!
