Couple of old classics at the car show. Buried treasure! Helping my parents with some of their teetering towers of second hand books, found this gem fallen down behind one of the stacks. Photo I must’ve sent them nearly 25 years ago - sat next to my old boss Martin Lamb, one of the kindest, smartest people with the driest wit it has ever been my privilege to know, who sadly died two years ago. Here with his equally lovely wife & creative partner @penelopemiddelboe & a team of animators from Poland who were bringing to life their script for ‘The Life of the Buddha’, part of their Animated World Faiths series for S4C & Channel 4, which I worked on. Martin, a staunch atheist, brought such sensitivity to sharing and conveying the faiths of others. He also probably cooked the meal we’re enjoying in their house & I think he made the table we’re sitting round as well. A truly remarkable man, much missed. I’m so glad to have known him & to have found this dusty old photo of us. Good people, good times Loved our low key street party, everyone pitching in informally with food, guitar, bbq, gazebo & a life-size cut out of the queen. It was a thumbs up from my dad! Wondering if the bride (stunning, even in a moustache) may be regretting inviting NFTS workmates to the wedding… thanks for a beautiful time, beautiful @rachelwoods83 👰‍♀️ Well, feel properly Jubileed now I’ve been given a free chocolate corgi with his own little flag! 🇬🇧 Enjoyed a somewhat blustery Hay Festival, catching up with @steve.hill. The rain held off for us right up until the start of open air Shakespeare by RSC at Hay Castle. Happy to say in pleasingly British fashion not one person left & we tucked into slightly damp quiche under the cosiness of raincoats & strategically positioned picnic blankets #raindoesnotstopplay #hayfestival Horsing around. Loved riding up to the Begwyns on a very polite pony called Clover & meeting a lovely foal who does not yet have a name as only 2 weeks old 🐴 Finn appears to have got himself a job as the local security cat. He takes his responsibilities seriously - thoroughly inspecting local tradespeople’s vans #rescuecat #catswithjobs Absolutely thrilled that BFI in partnership with Bloomsbury will be publishing my first book!
