I just received a mysterious Yoko Ono book in the post with no note or anything. I'm completely baffled -- do any of you know anything about this?

I have to be honest, I don't often buy The World of Interiors magazine, but I had to get hold of the latest issue so I could read @alecfinlay.bsky.social's tribute to his father, Ian Hamilton Finlay, arguably the greatest Scottish artist of all time and my hero. It's a great article.

The snow in my local Berlin park was a delight this morning. Memories of going sledging with my daughter when she was little.
