First we will go to Paris next month for an exhibition at the amazing Halle Saint Pierre of three artists from the Jennifer Lauren Gallery. We wanted to book seat 61 on the Eurostar but got a message from The Man In Seat 61 saying seat 61 has been block booked solid for the next two months. And not by him. We hope to spend Christmas in Tenerife, but there remains the possibility that by then it will be a raging ball of fire, so we might have to rethink that one.
I'm originally from Liverpool and worked as a national magazine journalist for more than 30 years before suffering a stroke at age 53. I started blogging as part of a neuro-rehabilitation programme and wrote the very first entries with one finger of my disabled left hand. Later, art became another therapy for me at Headway East London's Submit To Love Studios. I write about my daily activities and encounters. In 1988, I married Jane. We are still together today, sharing our lives and making each other laugh.
