I love flowers (obviously!) but autumn's a great time to appreciate the beauty of seed heads too. I designed this set of linocut greeting cards to capture their interesting shapes 💚

Last week of Cedric Morris exh at Berwick's Granary Gallery. You can find his work at Gainsborough's House which holds a large collection but this is a rare chance to see it outside the south east www.maltingsberwick.co.uk/whats-on/ced...

Two interesting sounding Egyptian exhibitions just started. Opening today at John Soane Museum - a long look at Egypt's influence on British design from 18th century up the the present day www.soane.org/exhibitions/...

In the “Pelican Portrait” of 1574, Elizabeth I pulls out all the stops with unbelievably elaborate outfit. You can hardly stop looking at the amazing detail of each piece & layer. Happy birthday to one who knew how to accessorize.

Where I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon

I seldom cry when reading books, but that one destroyed me. Superb book and film.

It's one of those little glossy mags that gets posted through the letterbox and is usually just a billion adverts, with a few features about the Scouts or the latest achievements of the Bowling Club, with upcoming local events on the back pages, so this was a pleasant diversion.
