I love books, films, art and listening to podcasts (politics, and then some light relief from it all). Favourite means of transport: walking.

It is #SaturdayMorning so here's "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It has always seemed to me that this might be an idyllic breakfast time view to start a long, lazy week-end. The painting was once owned by an avid collector of ELG work: Sir David Scott. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Next year, 2025, is the only square year most of us will see in our lifetimes (45 x 45). The last was 1936 (44 x 44), the next is 2116 (46 x 46).

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

When I was growing up we had no money to buy books. All I had was my local library. I spent hundreds of hours in it. But for that library I might never have become a lawyer. A thousand of them were closed under successive Conservative Governments

Libraries matter now more than ever. They stand for the powerful idea that knowledge is free and belongs to everyone. In a time when books and free thought are under threat, we must defend and support our libraries and librarians—they are guardians of access, learning, and freedom.
