" Patrick why do you say it could have been made for a friend"?
 

Sorry but I missed reading your post................  I said he probably made it for a friend because that is what he did most of the time.

 Regards,
                 Patrick.

Have I got wrong then Pat or did he set up on his own for a while around '99 after Cambridge or were the elephants made at Basil's?
Seem to remember reading he started up on his own but being worried about his pension decided to get a 'steady' job at a hospital?

Hi Chris,
 Yes he did make Elephants and other stuff at Basil's but not sure if it was full time.  Can't speak to him at the moment but will let you know.
 He certainly worked at the hospital for a long time, until he retired .

Regards,
               Patrick.
