: as a copywriter at a London ad agency, I used #FultonMackay as a voiceover playing the part of an old salmon, telling a young salmon who wanted to use the new #AirFrance flights from Edinburgh "Och, you've got to do a bit of spawning!" Anyway, the young salmon continues to tell Fulton all about flying by Air France rather than swimming up stream. "And they don't treat you like sardines either!" the young salmon ends his sell for Air France travel. Actually in those far-off days I employed a few of those characters you've lovingly drawn - #DavidJason et al....

Pretty surreal was seeing Cyril Vickers again in the Royal Victoria Place after last seeing him all those years ago when we sat together in a Soho wine bar. There he was, popping in to do a spot of shopping and there we were ~ #HazeltheMallMoll and I trading in our full display stand. Weird how these things occur.

'Enchanted Cottage' safe arrival....

Hi Grenville

The picture has just arrived and I am absolutely delighted with it. It arrived safely - thank you for packing it so securely. Its arrival certainly brought a smile to my face and brightened my Monday!

Thank you so much for getting the picture to me so quickly, especially in these uncertain times. I'm hoping that the lockdown will be eased in a month's time so I can pass it on to my mum as it's part of her 80th birthday present. I also have a copy of The Enchanted Cottage which I bought a few years ago. It's such a lovely scene.

Wishing you and your family well.
