Grand pictures.
Puppeteering and staging: interesting lens to look through at your work and the way you have gone about working, particularly with the maquette models, but I expect somebody will be writing a book with that slant in the future.
Oh my! I don’t think there will be more books about me any time soon. The monograph will have to suffice!

Absolutely awesome!
Returning to my old roots, Cousin Elizabeth. I must say that it’s rather fun.
Hope everything is well your side of the pond. Please give my love to all the family.
