The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimates a loss of £10.7 billion due to the ending of tax free shopping for foreign visitors due to #Brexit

The crowns of many of our trees have receded this winter, I guess due to fine branches being blown off in the gales. Talk about crown shyness!

Given to me in 1978 | I read it first in 2024 | My favourite book, what took me so long? | The Life of the Fields by Richard Jefferies.

I then discovered that the book had influenced the minimalist Bob Law whose Whitechapel show I helped hang - you guessed it, in 1978.
