Robin and I seem to share a mystical gene, she loves witches, wizards, magicians, and monsters. I’m doing my part trawling the Internet for witches, magic kits, wizard gear, and monsters. I think Emma secretly approves of this channel to the other side.

Robin and I have definitely connected in this way. Last week, I sent her a wizard hat and cape, and she turned her dog Sandy into a frog when she asked Emma to take this photo and send it to me.

I think this is a good grandfather path for me. I can’t see her often, and I am not much of a part of her life, but we have found a way to talk to each other and know one another. Creativity works on many different levels.

I love this photo, mostly for the mad gleam in her eye. When we are together we made gleam each other.
