Dear All -

Once again I thank you all for your continued interest and especially those who have been bidding and purchasing.

There has been a bit of a gap in listings. This has been partly because we've been on a short visit to stay with 6 friends for a few days in the Georgian House at Hampton Court Palace. Although I was on a diet of water only ... well, water and a little beer ... for the first 3 days it was a very interesting experience. Being able to wander round the Palace and gardens while closed to the public was a great privilege though I'm a bit disappointed not to have bumped into Anne Boleyn. I was convinced that I sensed a particular chill in the stretch of gallery she is reputed to wander in but I was ridiculed by my companions who were cynical enough to insist that management would have made sure to switch off the heating in that bit !

I paused the listings because I knew I wouldn't be here to deal with packaging and despatch. But now we're back I've restarted and here are the first couple -

I will carry on with the Deep Thought text items such as "I Think Therefore I Am" and follow with the artefacts I mentioned in my last mail. After that I see that there's a load of stuff of Pan-Dimensional Beings - pencil animations and Rotring pen on clear cel and reversed-out photoliths.

Talking of photoliths ... I always feel that these look really dull and disappointing when viewed in normal lighting making them very difficult to display satisfactorily. As you all know they really need to be seen back-lit so I wondered if these LED light pads mounted behind a picture frame might offer some sort of solution ? -

Not long ago I was invited to do a Skype interview with a Youview Channel called Retro-Spective. Eventually I hope to put an illustrated version together for my web site but for the time being it is up on Youtube if anyone is interested -

Once again the occasional search on eBay for "H2G2_" should do it for any who are interested and I will also keep the Hitch-Hikers page on my web site updated -

Best wishes to All - take care and I'll try to keep the listings flowing.
