I'm really looking forward to meeting Rolf Harris next Sunday in Manchester for a preview of his new wildlife collection.
He's been a hero of mine for many years and his signed photograph sits proudly on the wall of my studio at home.

The tradition of painting vehicles started so that truck drivers could take pictures that made them happy on long journeys across the country - the tradition has been passed down throughout the generations.
Myself and other local artists from New Mills Original have been working with three local primary schools, Newtown, St.George's and Thornsett.
We are holding an exhibition to celebrate the work produced by the children.
The exhibition will be open from Friday 2 April until Friday 16 April at New Mills Original.
You are welcome to attend the Private Viewing tonight, Thursday 1 April from 4pm to 6pm or come along to view the children's work and the work of many other local artists in the Gallery.
Had a great day at the Tate Britain in London yesterday visiting Chris Ofili's exhibition which is on until 15 May 2010.
Chris Ofili’s intensely coloured and intricately ornamented paintings are on show at Tate Britain in a major survey of the artist’s career that brings together over 45 paintings, as well as pencil drawings and watercolours from the mid 1990s to today. One of the most acclaimed British painters of his generation, Ofili won the Turner Prize in 1998 and represented Great Britain at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003.
Ofili has built an international reputation with his works that bridge the sacred and the profane, popular culture and beliefs. His exuberant paintings are renowned for their rich layering and inventive use of media, including balls of elephant dung that punctuate the canvas and support them at their base, as well as glitter, resin, map pins and magazine cut-outs.
