Pitmen Painters (Act 3)

A journalist from one of the newcastle papers read my blog on my Dad and contacted him for a story. I thought I'd share it. I'm not sure why they photographed him through the window, as he is not in quarantine. Well, he wasn't when I saw him last.
They must gave been in the house, as they show one of dad's paintings in the livingroom. This would have made his day to get a bit of company.

    Strange they photographed him through the window though makes one wonder if the interview was conducted through the letterbox!

  2. BTW the picture they used in the actual paper wasn't the same as the on line window photo!

  3. The photo made him look like a hermit. Ironic really, as his constant vigil of my Mom keeps him inside all the time, and he loves nothing better than to be outside in the fresh air
