Jet set whistle-wet

Wed, 8 Oct 2008 04:10:03 -0500

I reckon I'm pretty adept at the whole London-in-a-day thing, despite my protestations last time round. My old friend the Heathrow Express is a vital part of this: it's pretty much impossible to make it into central London in time for anything even resembling "morning" without using the businessfolk's 15 minute rail service to Paddington. Of course, there's a side effect whereby a sufficiently late flight home leaves time for a pint or two in town before the effortless slide back west to the air

My life as a tailor's assistant: Part 7

Postscript (Or whatever happened to the unlikely lad who was a tailors assistant?) Princess Perfect in England in the summer of 1999. Strangely enough, she wasn't very interested or impressed when I took her to see King of Maidstone, the shop where I worked all those years ago. "I was a prince of menswear serving a King!" I explained. She gave me her "we're not amused" look. Fast-forward from 1973 to 1999. I was on holiday in England with my family. I had hired a cottage on the outskirts

SPAT Zine Issue 2

It's rare these days that I get the chance just to blog about something simply because I want to take the time to write about it. Anyway, I've been meaning to mention a zine I came across the last time I was in Whitstable (I can't even remember the name of the shop where I got it, but it's on the main drag near the entrance to the harbour and has lots of fun art in the windows). The zine is called Spat, and I bought Issue 2 for 2.20. It features several pages of wobbly, trippy line drawing

Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers to grow in the garden. They are easy, statuesque, colourful, long-lasting, fantastically, scientifically, mathematically intriguing with their Fibonacci sequences and heliotropism, and very satisfying. We grow them every year, choosing different shades and varieties (never dwarf, though, because I see a dwarf sunflower as a contradiction in terms), but this spring all my sowing of hardy annuals went to pot and my bowl of seed packets remained stub

Her owners, Stephen and Heather Cope and their son Daniel, 13, searched high and low for Milly, then, failing to find her, did what any normal person would do: put up posters to see if anyone had seen her.

There's a silvery quality to it, just as there's a precious quality to a creative weekend in one of my very favourite places in the whole world. As usual, it was just us, the weather, the beauty of the place in which we stayed, and nothing else to distract from making and absorbing and enjoying. It was a beading weekend which reminded me forcefully just how much I need some new glasses. It also made me appreciate the huge n
