The Tattooed Elk.
???? you say. This is the name of the website that my sister bought for me for my birthday. Graham thought it up as a good name for a pub. This morphed into a cafe and is now the name of the mother company for an art gallery.
Here in little Bet, I have a dream. A cultural, art nurturing warm place, where people can feel they are safe to develop their art/craft dreams. Big or small, it doesn't matter as long as you can feel stimulated, inspired and uplifted. This may be by buying a piece from an exhibition, or by taking part in a workshop, or by hiring a work or exhibition space.
There are some very good cultural places near, some large town and a major road just 10 minutes drive away. The road through is reasonably popular during the summer, especially with tourers, so there is either actually or potential footfall. I was going to convert the woodshed, but our lovely landlord has offered the old mission house, by the pond.
Yes, there is the possibility of a small cafe too.
Much work and discussion with neighbours needs to be done and I am now going to make a start. Hurrah, the name, in Swedish or English, has not been registered by anyone yet. And, errhh, not unsurprisingly, there is also nothing like it!
Excuse me whilst I start on finding my old notes about business plans, the empire awaits!
