The wall in France is finally being built. Sadly, in an effort to save money we have decided to get photos sent out to us as the work progresses. This could prove disasterous. So here I am looking at a photo of some bags of cement. ‘Very informative’, I tell Ronny the Belgian guy who is helping oversee the work in our absence. ‘I can obviously relax now. I can tell so much from the way he is stacking the sacks he’s obviously a craftsman to his fingertips. I don’t wish to be picky but is there any chance of a few pics of the wall perhaps? By the way these sacks are some of your best photographic work. I see an exhibition coming on.’

His reply came back: ‘Do you think I should copyright them?’
‘I feel Hollywood knocking on your door for the film rights.’ He knows I’m joking right?
