Wheelchair using daughter has just come back from watching Blue (she's been a fan for years). No wheelchair platform or area, people naturally lay out groundsheets, stand up and lift kids with the result that wheelchair users see nothing. She's very disappointed. Foodies Fest should do better.

It's very tempting to hope that it's all diplomatic 4D chess at the moment, but I have a feeling that everyone's really just dodging asteroids like they're piloting the Millennium Falcon.

A feature of the 1885 OS sheet? Pleasingly, you can still trace the path of that original estate road by the trees.

It never really leaves you because decades later you still meet people and within seconds think 'yes, I know exactly what you would have been like'. The bullies, the victims, and the onlookers who take you aside later to say something along the lines of "Look, just keep your head down..."

I love a signed copy, but this is probably the most 'end of the session' one on my shelf.

'Summertime' at the Tate. Pollock just looks like wrapping paper on a screen. When you stand in front of a real one however, it swarms
