    It's a drawback of the self-taught way, Helen, that we have to learn
    by our mistakes, rather than someone telling us what to do and what
    not to do..and warning us of any pitfalls on the way...we tend to
    fall in most of the lurking traps......the upside is we get to do
    lots of stuff that the class takers and apprentices never think of
    doing (not during "business hours " at least), for fear of
    "offending " their mentors' sensibilities... 

    I liken the experience to making a little clearing in the wilderness
    then gradually clearing more and more of the undergrowth and letting
    in more light and warmth...trouble is if you step outside the
    clearing, you can get lost...but usually an Orchid guide will help
    you!! After 30 years, I'm still hacking at the weeds with my
    machete...but I'm not in Grimsargh anymore ;-)
