I heart Luzern

All is peaceful on the lake

For you Luce!


Boy do the Swiss know good clean design

Choosing leathers

Snow time

The first evening it snowed was magical

We went to take some snaps of the new moccasin collection in Highgate woods but the camera battery ran out of juice just after we got there! But the sunlight through the trees was so beautiful it was worth the trip.

The London snowman

Poor fella.

Saatchi Gallery


The most appealing exhibits at the Saatchi today. Richard Wilson's oil flood (smells so good), and 18 year old Mu Chun Chiang's portrait of Mr. Roberts, which won him the runners up prize in the Sunday Telegraph's art prize for schools. He happens to be at The Leys in Cambridge.

The Gift

This book was in fact a gift, and i'm so grateful - it's remarkable. I recommend this to anyone who is passionate about what and how they create, and how this has a place in the material world of commodities.
