My friend, the eminent artist
Derek Boshier, is celebrating his 70th birthday today. I have a lot of affection for Derek, and he stopped by this morning, freshly shorn, his crystal clear blue eyes twinkling away. He dropped off this little drawing which you can click on to see larger. He will enjoy this momentous occasion in the company of his children.
Happy Birthday, Derek. May you have many many more. Sometime soon, I'll open a bottle of
Schramsberg's Blanc de Noirs with you (the finest American bubbly - no
cold duck ) and nibble at strawberries, on your deck with the grand view, so beautifully built with your own hands. We will also celebrate all the years of enjoyment that your ever poignant art has given me, and so many others. You are surely the Hogarth of our time, but don't let on about it to Matthew Flowers, it'll be our secret.
