This pic was taken at the launch of Oxford Castaways 3 . These are some of the castaways. They include Roger Bannister-the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes. Ray Foulk who stole Dylan from Woodstock and founded the Isle of Wight Festival is to the left of Dwina. Legs Larry Smith who danced in a tutu for Elton John was a great friend of George Harrison who wrote a song about him and gave him the name ‘Legs’ The world owes agreat debt to the smiling guy on the right. He helped the Russians safely dispose of 220 rotting nuclear submarines after the end of the Cold War. With me at the front is Sister Frances who founded the world’s first hospice for children . Next to Legs Larry is Joanna Harrison the film maker . Euton Daley -the black guy with the beard is a performance poet , actor and all round talent who has just been given an award at the Edinburgh Festival. Just behind Dwina is Annie Sloan the chalk paint lady who was in an all girls punk rock band in the seventies.

The cover of Oxfordshire Limited Edition when my castaways feature was about Dwina. She was photographed in the garden at the Prependal. The Brushstrokes in Time feature was by me too.
