Glad you received your photo ok. I love it. Utter madness. I so delighted and relieved to get your story, just doing finishing touches to The Book of Everyone...and worrying...that it will create a stir, that I will either be sued, or create memories, or a lot of laughter. Meanwhile, I have learnt some interesting stuff about you, you country file girl you!
OMG!!!!! who is that girl. Did I ever tell you that I used to be a milkmaid?........
Well.... when I was a teenager,....I live in Devon...I had a Guernsey cow called Mabel! and every morning before school and every afternoon after school I would milk her and bring a big bucket full of frothy milk down to the house. When it had stood a day I would cream off the top for puddings and cakes! Lovely!!! I kept the tamey lambs and looked after them all...Horace, Borris and Morris were a cheeky trio! and there were many more. I had a Jacob ewe and all her offspring. And Oscar my young calf. It's hardly surprising I became a vegetarian!!
Those were the days, ....when I was a farming girl!
Do I sound like I'm 88?!
It's the yoga you know that keeps me going

A Little Essay

Dear Roger
Thank you so much for your essay. I really enjoyed reading your words, and then thought, hang on, that is about my project. I had to have a good cry, which could be tiredness or just pure joy, or a mixture, and that someone has 'got it'!!!!
Totally fantastic. You are an absolute star. I have placed the essay as the intro to the photographic artbook for 'Dreams, Masks & Mirrors". Is it ok to use your official title?
You have made one small person very happy. I look forward to seeing your book on the shelves soon, if people like me, stop interrupting your creative verve!
Best wishes
Jill
p.s. That little chat about how to exchange...I want to say that even though I am supposed to be an artist - I am rubbish at painting walls, so you had better put me down, for sweeping up, annoying the public or carrying your bag to your book signings.
