You are old, Father William...

I've been clearing out my workshop for the last few days - over 30 year's worth of old documents and photos, etc - and the other day I came across this picture of Her Indoors doing a hand-stand up against the wall of the Holburne Museum, taken by me over 30 years ago.

Every year, she does a handstand, just to make sure she can still do it (remember the one I posted from Cornwall last years?), and here's an early example. Bless her!

    I love doing cartwheels on the beach but my poor (old) wrists cannot handle that anymore. Good on you HI. Keep it up. A good blood rush to the head is good for the mind.

  6. I spent half of my childhood like that, and also try every year to see if I can still do it. It's getting harder...

  8. Tom, however did you win the affections of such a woman?

  9. Your question implies a certain lack of respect for my own abilities as a gymnast and artist, Mise. Well, despite this, I will tell you. I kidnapped her young daughter and told he that if she ever wanted to see her alive again, then she must divorce her husband and devote her life to me. I hope that answers your question. Let that be an end to the matter.
