A photograph captures a moment - a second - in someone’s life that is preserved forever.
– Sir Jonathan Miller

Throughout my career, ‘Golden Threads’ have arisen from the opportunity to engage with some of the most famous and influential people of our times, getting to know them, absorbing their life stories with a mixture of sadness and laughter, creating fond and everlasting memories.

There are 34 famous personalities. A page of text and their photograph which relates to the story, appearing on the opposite page. Each story is totally different, capturing the essence of the sitter as though reported by a ‘fly on the wall!’ But a fly that had great sensitivity! In some cases, the personality has added a quote, which appears in italics at the foot of the page of text.

‘Let’s go back and do it all again... I hope we go on forever.’

– Dame Judi Dench

It’s an exciting read - a page turner. Every penny spent on a purchase goes directly towards lymphoedema research.
