Sharpie Al
Charlotte Alice Overton-Hart, or just Sharpie Al.
Champion of ageing and the old, and the experience and wisdom of older people, inspired by my 92-year-old gran, Nancy.
People are my favourite vintage. Amazing greys.

88-year-old Bermudan Johnny Barnes spends six hours a day standing at the side of the road, telling people he loves them. And that’s it. There’s no gimmick. He does the same thing, five days a week, whatever the weather. No-one asked him to do it, and he doesn’t ask for anything in return. He doesn’t offer his love to particular individuals based on how deserving they might be. His love is straightforward, indiscriminate and extravagant. What an inspiration. He says:
