I was trying to find relevant stuff to fill in the gaps on my June napkin, and I came across this. Relevant, of course, because of the Tour De France being in Yorkshire. It was taken from a cycling magazine leaflet (see below), which fell from Mr. S’s Guardian.
I’m really sorry to say that I don’t know who did the illustration. I like the way the inside leg is not tanned, nor under the arm.
I dedicate it to Vincent Harding, keen (understatement) cyclist and all round decent bloke and good egg. Vincent was one of the first people who followed me on Twitter, back when I first started interfering with social media. Anyway, despite Vincent following me because he thought I was a cycling fanatic (my name was Upcyclist at the time), he was, and continues to be, very supportive. Thanks, Vincent.
You can see the whole piece here.
Fab stuff. How did I miss this?
Did you ever get the bag of bits I left for you? I have some more…
Thanks Isobel.
I am sorry to say that I did not, please do not drop any more until I locate this one.
It is so kind of you, and I feel very bad that the communication system in my place of work is zilch.
Was it a man or woman you gave it to?
Oh dear. A woman, at the information desk. The bag ahs both ouir names on it. I thought she put it in a cupboard behind her.
That’s helpful because there aren’t many women. Did it sound like she knew me?
That I could not say. i think she may have been black.
There is still no trace of the bag. It’s hilarious really. I said it might be in the cupboard, but nobody could find the key. Will let you know when I track it down 🙂
Loving the cyclist…. and Vincent for thinking you were a cyclist and yet sticking around!
Yes, poor Vincent – he didn’t know what he was getting into!
Your napkin work is incredible. Genius!
Thank you 🙂
