Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Many thanks to whoever left the positive comment on the blog (I'm willing to bet my calcei it was one of you!). Julia is a very excellent intern, and feedback like this is very encouraging.

Curiously enough, the same excavation I've been on. An excellent conservator, for sure!

Smashing photographs! Thanks Louise - I've also left a comment on the website.
Could you twist someone's arm (off completely if necessary LOL!) to put up an update on the scale "garment" - pretty please?
