In other news, my favourite hairdresser, Ricky has opened up a bespoke salon here in Cheltenham (231 Charman Road, Cheltenham). This guy knows how to cut hair! AON HairbyRicky He also knows a thing or two about art - his mother is Mary Slevin  is a highly regarded artist in Ireland. And Ricky decided to purchase a piece of my art to adorn the walls of his new studio!

So drop into AON, make an appointment with Ricky and view 'The Golden Bird' on the wall while you enjoy the massage chairs at the wash station!
