After a telephone conversation with Sam this morning he sent me a parental questionnaire for me to complete and e-mail back to him. I did my best.
I then sent our friend Paul Clarke links to a number of posts featuring his mother, Hilda Margery Clarke, artist, tutee, and friend of L. S. Lowry. Margery, just a year or two younger than our mother, died recently.
This, taken at The First Gallery on 30th November 2014, is my favourite.
Afterwards I posted https://derrickjknight.com/2022/03/07/a-knights-tale-112-the-best-big-brother-ever/
This evening we enjoyed second helpings of yesterday’s Red Chilli takeaway with which I finished the Appassimento and Jackie drank fizzy water.
Very thoughtful, Derrick. I’m sure Paul will be so pleased to receive them.
I hope so, Merril. He actually asked me and two others for any they have. Thanks very much
You’re very welcome.
My condolences to you and Margery’s friends and family.
Thank you very much, Liz

Another lovely picture. One lady looks like she is caressing the balloon.
Yes, she was. Thanks very much, Pat
Condolences and what is that red ball on her lap!? Just curious
It was a balloon. A game we had which involved a certain amount of popping :). Thanks very much, Yvette
