In my first week I made the facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Chagford-United-Kingdom/The-Ice-Bear-Project/156511814608) and the twitter (http://twitter.com/friendofthebear) pages for the project. But Todd was working down in Cornwall, and I found myself very quickly at a loose end.
When Todd returned we drove up to Ice Bear HQ for a meeting with Toby and Mark, the other main members of the team. After a 6 hour meeting, and the 4 hours spent in the car, I realised I would probably never be at a loose end again... there was an overwhelming amount to do. Todd reassured me there was no way I'd be able to do it all, and to just focus on the important bits.
Now a routine of sorts has descended. Ideas and plans fly around the room, and we sit at our macs (We are both part of the mac tribe, everything white and sleek and with the promise of quality...) and tap tap away at our keys, emails, form fillings, and facebook updates, punctuated by cups of tea, and tip bits sent from various places to inspire us on our journeys.
But we are not far now, this friday will be the 'Fire and Ice' event at Castle Drogo, which has been the first event I have EVER been involved with organising, and with a lot of help from some rather fantastic people, it can't fail to be a corker!
The night will be filled with tales to inspire, awe and amaze, and there will also be some taste bud temptations with an Indian meal, and some suitably on target decorations, provided by the talented Hannah and her many hours of dedication. Plus, you will get to watch a master at work, with a live sculpting from Mark Coreth.
We have also had some beautiful things donated to us! Both for the raffle and for the auction. Shown is a picture of the very gorgeous necklace donated to us by Jason Of England, and The Beautiful painting 'Spirit of the Ice Bear' donated to us By Danielle Barlow.
