Clevva fella, right in one, I would love to read her book, (note to self must look out for "and furthermore"

[SheilaO]

Is it unnamed as the file name states as the face looks familiar to me, SheilaO and I can't place it? Nevertheless, it's very good and you've got the hang of posting pictures on here as well.

Ha Ha! boatbuilder, see Triggers reply

I'd already seen it Sheila. I've now remembered who she reminded me of, an older cousin of mine who lives in Merseyside whom I haven't seen for some 20+ years at my mum's funeral.

but here is one of mine....

A very good portrait SheilaO. I did guess it was Judi Dench but I thought it also looked a lot like Judith Chalmers.

That's a coincidence, I was born in Liverpool.

Yes I suppose she does look a bit similar

Yes, I know you had already mentioned it somewhere else on here - Your first post actually.

Whereabouts? I was born in Seaforth.

[SheilaO]

I was born in Aintree Hospital, and lived in Orrell Park, later moved to Croxteth, when that housing estate was just being built, it was a lovely place to live then. If I remember rightly the 61 bus went to Seaforth.

[boatbuilder]

Yes, I know the area very well Sheila. I used to catch the train at Orrell Park to go to Ormskirk to meet up with my wife-to-be who lived in Parbold, having caught the 61 bus to there from Seaforth. I also worked for a few years at a company on the Aintree Industrial Estate in the late 1960's also on the 61 route. When you say Aintree Hospital, I think that one was known as Walton Hospital unless you mean the one where my children were born - Fazakerley Hospital - as it was in the early 70's. I myself was born at home in Seaforth.

We mustn't clog up this topic though with this chat or I'll have to reprimand myself before the other members do.

Yeah, stop clogging up this topic ;-)

Love your picture SheilaO, excellent likeness.
I'll try to join in with the spirit by offering a pastel I did a while back. Hope you like it.

[boatbuilder]

Great picture Eddyo.

Majestic looking beast Eddyo, well captured

Thanks I really appreciate your comments, it is one of my favourites.
They don't all turn out so well, of course.

[SheilaO]

Nice one Eddie.

Heare is another of mine, feeling fruity

[boatbuilder]

I'll have the pear please, SheilaO - as long as it's sufficiently ripe so it's not too hard.
