I went to see Manchester United play Rapid Vienna years ago , Beckham , Cantona and Solksjear played in sub zero conditions , earlier in the day I saw the great Breugels… One sent a shiver down my spine ~ Childrens games ; a copy of which had been outside the Head mistresses room in my Cheshire primary school.. when you were naughty you had to stand there and hope she did not come out.. i looked at that painting so closely for so many hours.. and then i saw the original and I was elated.. no cane ! just a beautiful painting,,Ian

Our childhood was spent playing lots of card games – snap, sevens, pelmanism, happy families, donkey, whist, what, old maid, dump rummy, bridge and mammoth sessions of racing demon which still happen today with four generations taking part.

Not quite so much fun to illustrate though!
