In the Victorian High Street we noticed a photographer's shop, and Wilson has had his portrait taken in the formal style of his ancestor, Great Great […] Grandfather, Alberto Victor Gutiérrez-López.
The top hat was a bit on the large size, but the photographer fixed that with some kitchen-towel padding and some Gaffer Tape. Ouch — small bald patch in fur!
W says that his portrait is 'his proudest possession'. After Antony. And his OBE (which, he confesses to me, he seems to have mislaid). And his Polaroid of him with his mum, Mrs. Vermilingua. And, it gradually emerges, quite a lot of other stuff…
When we get home, he says he will frame it and put it in pride of place on the mantelpiece.
