The Girls in the Cafes The Girls in the Cafes I admit that it is a bit crowded in my room at the moment, with all The Girls. But how cool to come home from work, and to find The Girl number 3 in my mailbox. This postcard was the very first drawing I made, [...]

Rolls And I said: “Maybe you and I should drink a cup of tea together? Shall we say: The Cafe – 3pm?” As he really was rolling a Rolls on the Mall in St. James Park. (And while we are rolling in Royalty Liz is having her 80th birthday today. B. and I are invited [...]
