The Saga of Meena and MacTavish (CsH) - Part 3 : The Denouement

N.B. Hoani is the most gorgeous looking man in Aotearoa as Meena soon discovered. However all good things had to come to an end ......


For Meena and MacTavish, the perfidy and disorientation encountered in the Pearl of the Orient finally forced our dynamic duo to return to Leicester.
It was back to a sedentary but sedate life where MacTavish spent the next eight years painting
forests,

frangipani
and kerengga,

and umpteen other pictures illustrated and written for love of Meena's world and the beautiful rainforests.

As for our doughty Meena she plunged herself into the wild unknown - into the periphery of the British landscape - the environs of the English working class Reserve.

And that is how the story ended - or has it?

APPENDIX:

The Artist's Farewell - just bleeding knackered from all that drawing.

POSTSCRIPT:

This Saga was inspired by the artist's need to placate the little woman who complained about not being given a birthday present for years on end. This explains the last sentence - written under duress.
