I love this image of Sirs Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart. At it's most basic, it's a photograph of two great friends, but it's two great friends who are portraying tragedy and comedy. It's a cracker of an image, the emotions show, the age and wrinkles, the friendship, but also the way in which they wear their age so lightly. They are little boys having fun.
Whilst thinking about this image my brain took me to a bench in a city park. and these two guys came and sat with me. I wondered if I might be able to turn it into a writing exercise, trying to get down a good description of a conversation with small0ish number of words. This is how The Sirs of the Talking Hat started.
