A glutton for punishment

I was there to collect ‘Mine‘ and a print of a drawing of a Kerr Stuart Wren loco I’d picked up at the Bure Valley Railway’s open day last October.

“Oh, you’ve brought more”, Speedy laughed.

Yes. I’m clearly a glutton for punishment.

“When do you need them for?”

Let’s be realistic, shall we? End of May?

“No problem.”

Good. They can be my birthday present to myself then. See - I’ve even built in an extra three days’ leeway.

The photos I handed over today were ‘End of the working day‘ as a 5 x 12″ vertical letterbox (”Oh, that’s lovely” was the professional response), ‘Shedding light on the past‘ as a 12″ square (”Is this side the bottom?”, Speedy’d asked me) and someone else’s photo - Anna Pickard’s fabulous ‘Canadian Barndance’ photo (right) which has always been one of my favourites, printed in a 16 x 12″ swirl of colour. I have Anna’s permission for this, I hasten to add.

    I always laugh when you call him Speedy; it’s so apt! Fast, he may not be but he does a grand job. I’ve got to take in your “Fractal Seaweed” so, with my procrastination for DIY thrown in, it should be up on the wall by Christmas.
