Boardgames, dolls houses, writing, art, random stuff. Likes puns. I use a photo from a museum back room as my header as it's a bit like how my brain works. In the UK.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Another photo taken at one of my favourite locations on the London Underground tube map.
If the sun is out, and in the correct position at Nine Elms station, it can project beautiful shadows of the London Underground roundel on to the station floor.

You are building a guild hall in 1357.
What materials are you going to need?
60 trees from Bolton Percy for 27s. 6d., 100 oaks from Thorpe Underwood for £21, 14 tons of stone from Tadcaster and 20,000 bricks for £6 from the Carmelite Friars of York.
That should keep you going!
