with a capital Erk!
What have we here? Looks like a lot of something. Long term readers (hello, how is your year going so far?) will know exactly what this is. It is my dining table, which is not small and regularly seats six … Continue reading
Win. win–win, win.,
Few events in life are good in both directions. Researching Marie Antionette again, trips in a tumbril, really bad both ways. Political elections bad for most, good for a few for a limited time (a week, tops.) Flooded towns – … Continue reading

Let there be light.
I am waiting for a dolls’ house which I am not expecting any time soon but eventually. Not only am I really happy to wait for the house, I want the builder to get on with something else. Keen miniaturists … Continue reading

Long time readers, (hello how are you?) already know by the title what I’m doing. To be fair it isn’t exactly a mystery because I’ve been doing it for over thirty years. Yes I am making moulds. After just one … Continue reading
