Just some good links…
As usual I Like… dishes up the goods with the worlds biggest pencil, a link to AceJet170′s Found Type Friday (apt as I’ve just been putting up some pics with lettering..) and from thence I got drawn into this superb collection of type specimens on Flickr and also to the blog of We Made This ...
Mad Jack’s Pyramid
Managed to squeeze in a last minute visit to Brightling with S, P, little S and Billy – we wandered amongst the sheep and the gravestones in the fading sunlight before heading back to Stonegate…. all in all a fabulous 3 days!
Fruit Garden
So – last day at the magic garden… We were in the Fruit Garden today, hoeing the gravel beds between the gooseberries and strawberries. Also planted up these pink tulips in the giant pots either side of the path. It was a little like excavating a dig in these pots as they were full of ...

Sussex + Spring = Bluebells!
I’d forgotten how pretty the masses of blue on the road verges and in the woods of Sussex were… And the smell! A good start to my brief visit, even if I have wrenched my neck and so had to leave my trusty red bike at home.. It meant I got to walk the 4 ...
Actionettes at Duckie
[Not quite sure what happened to that post, so here it is again...] The Actionettes performed at Duckie, at the Vauxhall Tavern in London this eve. I managed to crick my neck about 10 mins before and saw stars it hurt that much, so I’m told my performance looked a little pained…. Seems the high ...
