From the Post Office’s 1934 “Outposts Of Britain” posters by the great Edward McKnight Kauffer. I’m not sure folks would warm to their homes being labelled as “outposts” today.But I do love the posters & how commercial art of the period characteristically incorporated quite radical designs elements.

I see that the shop light is on so I walk in. The shopkeeper says ‘I forgot about the papers.’ I open the creaking box lid and carry them inside. She snips the bundles and the news escapes. I am the only customer.

Ian's early morning musings are now on Bluesky.
Very welcome.
Very welcome.
Early stroll. I imagine I am walking vertically, not horizontally. A half-eaten apple next to a fallen leaf. The breeze wrestles with the still air. A man carries a tray of loaves from a van. An empty settee in a bright room.

Above all, Remembrance is a personal thing.
Some thoughts on why Remembrance is so important, and why attempts to police it should be resisted.
One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.
It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.
It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.
That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵
