I usually pour scorn on public sculpture yet the figure of Fred in the town centre is 'pretty good'. "It was the old man that was the genius, such a brilliant liar". And, in the portrayal by that actor, looking very much like my dad. The same glasses. The Amarna Princess was shown to the museum lady in 2002 and was unveiled in 2003. Ms T, the egyptologist, accompanied the Manchester county archaeologist lady on a feeble tour of my then reported monuments in January 2003 - so my stuff's closely tied in to that story. The pair never left the road and I can imagine them gaily chatting about the amazing discovery of an alabaster figurine in a house just two miles away. The real carvings were under their noses and they didn't bother to tramp two hundred yards through a rush-filled field to look! (There's an Irish writer made a short story about the Greenhalghs which is to be published, as part of a collection, in September. I'm looking forward to that too!)
