I took this photo of this in a friends house, it is a design based on inches, feet and yards, what’s missing from the photo are two stripes of a tape measure, one above, one below. It’s been printed on a linen handkerchief. Such an elegant and joyful representation of imperial units, his designs are so individual. His canon of work is relatively small, he died so young(lost at sea1942)

This is the fabric from my family’s bookcase, in a green version. It’s not in such good condition as the pink version, the background is yellowed with age and some squares where the dye has rotted the fabric, notably the red squares.
A friend gave me this for Christmas, happy nostalgic memories of a curtain we had over a bookcase in the family home, that was in a green colourway, I am off to look for it.
A new store is being built above the station and is being clad in highly polished steel panels. I can just about see myself with a red shopping bag, my face hidden by the camera.
The distorted reflections were marvellous, it’s a huge structure, not finished yet so there are unexpected sections showing the underlying structure.
