Extrapolating from that, we should appreciate and celebrate the collective in so many forms, from music to bike racing to making buildings and so much more.
Was there on Friday and thought exactly the same thing.
Thank you, I’ll have a look.
Looks great! I’m in Lyon shortly, where is that?
It is a lovely building.
“It is the Brexit playbook:…
It did not work then and it will not work now. Because once you agree that rights are the real obstacle, you have already handed victory to those who want rid of them altogether.”
Important read on blaming the ECHR for govt failure.

Solidarity. Collective action over the Man messing with our chocolate snacks has a proud history.

Bristol’s Cheese Lane Shot Tower looking rather fine. Shot making finished in the late 1980’s.
It was new to me too, and what a lovely discovery. I agree re Soane, his use of light was wonderful. I also like the fact that he walked regularly from Pitzhanger to work at the BoE.
It’s lovely isn’t it? Really enjoyed both the building and art a visit there a few weeks ago on a diversion from the Capital Ring walk.
I did not know there were beavers in Ealing. #EalingBeaverProject
Lovely stage of the Capital Ring walk today through Greenford. Beautiful Autumnal colours and lots of human interest.
Can you allow me to DM that to you?
Sonali, if it were possible to see a copy I would love that. Happy to make a contribution if that can be done.
Houghton on the Hill
Stayed in this hotel for a couple of nights largely because I wanted to be in a Wes Anderson film.
Loved the Vanessa Bell exhibition at Charleston in Lewes, some really lovely work.
Couldn’t agree more. I had a great trip earlier in the Summer stopping in Coventry, Wolverhampton, Rochdale, Carlisle and Glasgow and going on to Orkney and Northumberland. Interesting stuff all along the way.
It’s a shame the retaliatory story isn’t true but however it came about, John Shuttleworth understood the existential angst that might have been felt by the farmer.

The wonderful Adam’s Cafe in Halifax market. Thank you to the lovely couple who were happy to be in my photo.
That is truly lovely.
Interesting. I live in Tunbridge Wells and so notice when its residents are published. Two letters recently in the Guardian were far from the old stereotype, if maybe fitting a newer one - one on how to store copies of the Guardian Feast supplement, one on Jeremy Corbyn’s potato growing.
Could have been at Fontainebleau rather than Harrison’s Rocks this afternoon.
And there was me thinking London was an uninhabitable, crime ridden hell hole.
“Merci beaucoup. I won’t be silenced.”
On the grave of Simone de Beauvoir, Montparnasse Cemetery.
After what must be 55 years since my last visit, the Farne Islands’ bird life didn’t disappoint. A truly special place.
No, not Greece but the North Sea off Seahouses.
The Laurieston bar didn’t disappoint
