Between us, Pat and I, have captured the market in illness - including spells in hospital. 

BUT WE ARE BACK, ALIVE & KICKING!

No artwork to put up, but as I have the conceit to be writing my (auto)biography, I thought I might include here a newspaper clipping from the period where my art started in earnest in 1981.
