.. and then I had this great idea..

.. I had a friend in London ....

All I had to do, was get her to visit M. Tussaud's exhibition, camera in hand .. and all my troubles were over! (Shame I hadn't thought of this more than a fortnight before shooting, but still, plenty of time).

A pleading email to Stefanie in London, sit back, and wait for the photos to arrive.

Then I get a postcard from Stef - in Belgium! She left London on the very day my email arrived! (It's OK Stef, one day I'll forgive you. :)
