I now live with Gordon and Helena in memory alone.
I passed away this morning; Helena was with me, as she had been throughout the night.
It's good to be free of that ailing body.
Shy Boy (Archangel Gabriel), on behalf of Gordon, in memory of Tony.
I, the original Artist-Rat, Tony Blair, shared a house with Gordon Brown and 'Shy Boy' Archangel Gabriel. Sadly, I caught a cold in 2009 and that was the end of me; and Gordon and Archangel followed. Romula and Rema - lovely twin sisters - took over the Artist Rat house and blog, but now they too have come to join me in the little cemetery under the Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia' tree.

I am very sorry to hear this. I'll miss your lovely posts. Nice to know that Helena was with you in this crucial time. Hope you'll have proper rest now.
A few weeks ago I came across a mentioning of Tony Blair in 'The London Paper' (August 26th). He was mentioned as one of the artistic curiosities to explore in Newcastle. As I am an English teacher myself now, I keep his memory alive by telling my students about him and his housemates and, of course, showing them pictures of some of his work. Reactions are most often delightful.
I hope Gordon's alright. Will this blog be continued by him now?
Love to Helena and all the best for Gordon!
