I had the good fortune to attend the launch of this years Open House at the new Olympic site in Stratford this evening. For as long as I’ve lived in London this has been my favourite weekend of the year. I’ve lost count of the amazing buildings I’ve had the opportunity to visit. My absolutely…

The Ladybird generation
Whilst I was on holiday last week I picked up a great selection on vintage books for a swap I am participating in. I really love the old Ladybird classics and wasn’t too surprised to find a group on flickr. Ladybird are also releasing a new book to capitalise on the love for all things…

We spent a couple of hours driving round Calais, completely bewildered by the local tradition of wedding parties driving around the city centre tooting their horns! Saturday must be wedding day over there. Then we…
