Good memories, Martin! Yes we still have several watercolours of Neil’s adorning our walls which we love and value. I was so delighted recently to see an exhibition of his oil paintings in the gallery in Shipston-on-Stour – would have loved to afford to buy one!! The portrait in oils which Neil painted of me, and which you refer to, has pride of place in my study and my granddaughter Genevieve loves it. As you rightly say, I have always been a great fan of Neil’s painting and also of his acting. What a talent, eh?!
Speaking of talent…..I always remember your brilliant interpretation of the shy and reticent Sandy in “Hay Fever” – I so enjoyed our scenes together. And of course, your fantastic sister Lindsay who played Myra Arundel to absolute perfection. And who can ever forget your mother as the redoubtable Queen Victoria in “Who Goes Home?” – absolutely superb! Great days, weren’t they? And weren’t we lucky to have had the privilege of being part of such a unique experience!
