I produced this set of drawings (12 in all) of Ightham Mote in Kent in 1988. They were published by the National Trust then but I still have people get in touch to tell me that they have just bought them. One was in New Zealand, another in Canada.

"It should be you doing this."

"Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark."

"That's not why you were invented."

THREAD. How The Singer Julian Cope Licked My Entire Face And Hypnotised Me Into An Occult Life On The Margins Of Society

I have been wanting to tell this true story - arguably the central one of my life - for many years.

You will find it in the alt text to these very real documentary photographs.

She’s not wrong.

When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.

And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

Worth remembering that when I fantasise about winning the lottery a lot of the things I think of involve either giving people I like lots of money or funding fun/necessary public things. Some people already won it but spend their entire life trying to get more. This is mental illness.
