What a great story! I love meeting two-year ago Substack Kay as well! I really enjoyed how you set the scene of your neighbourhood, and the wind and the packages and the dog poo and the getting tangled in the lead, trying to get the painting home safe, only to realise you were an accidental criminal! So good 😊 And the artist sounds like a really nice bloke too!
It was quite the day — I went from elation at my find to blind panic. The logistics of carrying it, Ralph and the wind should have been a sign that it wasn’t mine to take! He was so lovely — I popped up to meet him another time, and he thought it was a great story of how he sold it.

Yes, it is a great story for him too! Quite the emotional whirlwind of a day 😅
