V&A Quilts

The quilts exhibition at the V&A was very inspiring. So much so that during the train journey home,

the old Eurostar platform roof at Waterloo.....

council flats beside the tracks....

the train seats ......

the railway lines.....

the station ticket hall ceiling .....

everything around seemed a potential patchwork pattern!

Walking with a two year old

First it was looking at stones that held us up........

Then shapes.......


Now numbers


And they are everywhere!



Is it any wonder we're usually running late?!

I Am Love

A beautiful, dramatic film with the bewitching Tilda Swinton

The Uncommon Reader

Currently reading: The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett

A quick, delightful read about the Queen discovering the joy of reading after stumbling across the Westminster travelling library parked outside Buckingham Palace.

I wonder if HM knows reading is very much enhanced by a cuppa in a huge Cath Kidston mug!
