It would be an absolute tragedy if Veeraswamy were forced to close by the Crown Estate.
Not only is it a London institution and part of the capital’s rich cultural heritage the food is amazing!
Veeraswamy: UK's oldest Indian restaurant calls on King to save it
Supporters of Veeraswamy, which has operated for almost 100 years, are petitioning the King to intervene.

I once saw Staithes (which was locally often pronounced Steers) wonderfully described as a "jumble of whitewashed, pantile-roofed cottages clinging to the hillside, threaded through with narrow ginnels leading to the pretty harbour." and with the the Cod & Lobster, practically
This image captures the picturesque fishing village of Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast of England. Once one of the largest fishing ports in the region, it is now a popular tourist destination The village is known for its quaint, tightly packed cottages, steep, winding cobbled streets, and a small, sheltered harbour. It was once home to a young Captain Cook, who worked there as a shop assistant. The village has a strong artistic heritage and is home to the renowned Staithes Gallery, showcasing local art. The pub visible by the water is the "Cod and Lobster," a traditional pub that has been rebuilt multiple times after being damaged by the sea.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A special commission off the loom. Enough warp for another, as the warp took a week to wind! It’s all wound by hand- no painted warps or space dyed yarn here, just thread and a little science. I love putting all the colour into the warp- it tends to give a more elegant result.

A winter sunset over Bolton Priory. The priory church and ruins of the Augustinian priory lie at the heart of the Bolton Abbey estate on land gifted to the Augustinian canons by Alice de Rumilly in 1154. Image Bolton Abbey Sunset Matt Smith CC BY 2.0, Wikimedia Commons
A photograph of the ruined Bolton Priory in North Yorkshire, at sunset with the River Wharfe in the foreground. The sky is dramatic with dark clouds and bright yellow and orange light on the horizon behind the ruins. Two large, bare trees stand on the left bank of the river. There is a light dusting of snow on the grassy bank leading up to the abbey. The water of the river reflects the warm light from the sky.

One of my favourite of the images of Sheffield created in the early 20th century by artist Walter Hayward Young (1868-1920) for postcard manufacturer Raphael Tuck. He often signed his work by the pseudonym Jotter. In his lifetime he created more than 800 such designs.
This image is a colour lithograph print depicting an industrial landscape in Sheffield, likely dating from the early 20th century. It shows a bridge over the River Don with buildings to the left and a backdrop of numerous chimneys emitting heavy smoke into a hazy, light-filled sky. The scene captures the essence of a bustling industrial city at dawn.

It's Hogmanay and for today and tonight in the run up to the bells I am posting my artwork of Scotland. This is Eilean Donan Castle.

A small drawing of Eilean Donan Castle in the highlands of Scotland. The drawing is on orange pastel paper. Eilean Donan is a stunning castle in the Scottish highlands, surrounded by majestic scenery. A Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular visitor attractions in the Highlands. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).
