We had builders in for sensible things and this is what happened. Cat stairs. The skirting board inside is on wonky but the builder is coming back ‘to sort out snags on the cat flap steps’. Yeah ok George, he’s picky about his mortaring #cats

The most beautiful books I have ever had the privilege to work on. A feast for the eyes, a workout for the arms (massive tomes of towering quality), and ever so entertaining. Want to know how THAT album cover was designed? I can guarantee surprises
