My arty friend got in touch and said she loved my musings and requested that I write about our escapades at Art School. But where to start? That's the problem! Whenever I was with her, I always knew something was going to happen - something either totally unexpected or exciting! She has always looked stunning and combined with a persuasive patter, she managed to blag her way into many a ticketed party, with me in tow! There are too many tales to recount in one musing, but let's see: there was the artwork for a final show that needed improving, so she set fire to it (!); there was the glass of beer that unexpectedly found its way down the front of a lass in a full-length peach chiffon dress (oops!); there was the attempt to make a melted cheesy toast on a 2-bar electric fire; there were the party shoes recoloured & enhanced with fetching pink nail varnish etc etc. All these events were accompanied by hoots of spontaneous laughter - that priceless humour of hers! Such a great artist - bold & determined. My life has been all the richer for knowing you, dear friend xx
