Thanks so much Al – and many congratulations on the book you’ve just published!

Wow, that’s amazing, thankyou! I’ve got a brief exhibition coming up on the first weekend in September and am thinking that I might have this one framed in time so show it!

Hi Tim and thanks so much for this, I’m so pleased that you like how it turned out! As for John Yardley, yes, he’s a wonderful painter and a wonderful person too. I had the pleasure of meeting him some years ago and I still treasure that moment and being able to tell him in person how much I admired his painting and how inspiring he was. There’s a good few books on him to choose from and, with your photographers eye, I’m sure you’d find much to enjoy and admire in his work!

Oh Patricia thanks so much for this, everything about this response and reaction is just great and I so appreciate it – thank you so much!

Hi Morag and thanks so much for this, I’m so pleased you like it and really appreciate you commenting!

Ha, thanks Al, yes, it was fun but the conditions were quite adverse too – especially the seagulls, they’re savage!

Hi Jo and thanks so much for this, that’s a wonderful comment and much appreciated!
