The wonderful Stephen B Whatley recently immortalised yours truly - together with Poly and Sybil who muscled in on the sitting - in oils and I am absolutely thrilled by the end result. I am a great fan of Stephen's work; check out his Flickr site for more of this very talented artist's work.

This is one of the lead stories in this weeks Wanstead & Woodford Guardian. It's never a big news week in The W & W Guardian - previous stories including the wonderful: Police Interview Woman In Council Flat.
