I am planning a large update very soon, I have been very busy at College and finishing two modules, once handed in I will tell all the news. Sorry for delay.

Well, I have so much to tell and show. Some of you may not know but there is a postcard of the dropped H project as well. I have given this to friends and really any-one else that stayed still long enough. These have been coming back with some brilliant ideas of the whereabouts of these letters. Also to let those of you that do not know, that is that I have dyslexia, so if grammar and spelling is not quite right that is the reason. I hope it also helps to see the reason of this project.  Sarah wrote that she thinks the go in the compost heap with all her teaspoons. there was a great sketch of compost heap full of letters and T spoons.

Another card suggests the "H"s have all gone to Newfoundland where the Newfoundlanders put an h in front of their vowels.

One person said there must be a lazy house somewhere for all those unused letters. Several have suggested that they are with all the odd socks that get lost in the washing machine.

One girl i know wrote "I cannot lose what I never had. I've never owned H's or T's, like my Mum and her Mum before her. It's the northern way."

One that nearly made me cry came through the post with no name said "They fly away on the wings of birds to a place where they are loves and used by children who struggle to be educated"

Next time I have some from a great friend who had seven ideas and great pictures. thank so much please keep up the good work, I can see a Quilt coming from these ideas..

This was sent from Bosham, i am sure they are posh chips, thank Anna

Some people are finding it hard to post a comment even though I have enabled the program to accept comments. if you have a problem you can e-mail to droppedhproject@gmail.com  Thanks Alison

I am beginning to get some postcards back and will start to put up some comment, thank you all for making this happen, keep up the good work of finding these letters.These were found in Winchester.

I always find “T”in the kitchen in the afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!  Lyn

Where are they?????????

For the last year I have spent nearly all the time thinking about words and letters. Why? Because I have chosen 'words in art' as the title of my final degree show.

This got me to thinking about the pronunciation of words and how we correct our children to not drop their 'H's and 'T's. But then my mind goes further than it should and I began to wonder where all these dropped letters go. I imagine them on the pavement invisible to humans - but there. Is this why we trip on pavements, but there's nothing there? Are they dropped behind the cushions on the settee, lying in the folds all hairy and dusty?
There must be dozens of them at football matches, are they responsible for missed penalties? Are they the reason your glass tips over in the pub as you put down your pint?

Do you know where they go? If you have any ideas that would help the project grow please let me know. Draw me a sketch, write me a few words, with your help we can start to rehabilitate these letters back into the community and back into conversation.
