Mike has very kindly sent in a letter he received from the late actor Richard Todd (1919-2009).
He says:
"I thought you might like to see this thank you letter I got from Richard Todd. As you will see he was very good to reply in a personal way. The card I sent was the original poster [Robin Hood], I added birthday wishes etc which made it a bit special."
I am sure you will all agree that this is yet another example of the genuine warmth and kindness of the great man.

"A Letter from Richard Todd"
Special thanks to Mike!
What a treasure to have!
I know that Mike also painted Richard Todd's cottage in Little Humby around that time. This really is a wonderful keepsake of the man we know to be a British hero in real life and on film. When you look at the actors he appeared with it is like a Whos Who of World Cinema and in real life he seemed to be so well connected. He did live at Little Ponton Nr. Grantham, Lincs for many years before moving a few miles away. It is a lovely area and a pretty unexplored part of Lincolnshire. He regularly attended the Dam Busters Reunion at Woodhall Spa again in Lincolnshire which to anyone not familiar with it really is a lovely leafy small town. Mike and Pauline will I am sure treasure this letter.
