I’ll be leading a guided 2-hour walk of Soho on Weds 20 May for @citylit at 11am
We'll explore the area as a site of radical politics, the policing of vice and the working lives of those who made the gorgeous clobber in the department store windows

The face of poverty ~ a child’s “shoe doll”, found in a London slum in 1905, made from fabric scraps, the heel of a man’s shoe and a black sock (Museum of Childhood, Edinburgh)

It’s very difficult (as you’ll see) to get a good pic of ⁦@Fortnums⁩ window displays. They’re always imaginative but these creatures, made of recycled materials, are absolutely magnificent. I’m bagging the hyena for my living room.

Penning Poison will be out in paperback next week!

Is this the same person a few years apart. Is he even wearing the same suit? Both photos were taken in the same photography studio

Would be grateful for dating of these #shoes please. My (wild) guess is C19-C20. Due to their size I guess they were women’s shoes.

Objects of Poverty edited by @JoeHarley1988 & Vicky Holmes is out in just over a month, including a chapter by me about cobbled-together whistles. The cover features my bonkers barometer & one of the button whistles I write about.

Pre-order your copy!

When I was writing In Her Nature, The Salt Path’s spectre hung over me.

IHN is partly about how physically unwell and isolated I felt after losing numerous family members in 2019 – and how I tried to make myself feel better by running long-distances across North Yorkshire.

[Emily Cockayne @Rummage_work]

I last had time to sew in November. I'm trying to get back into it. I'm bad at faces, so apologies @Arifa_Akbar for my version of the cover of your amazing book (which I loved so much).

Rules : I reuse materials I already have / I can't spend longer sewing than I did reading

One of my favourite finds and still something of a mystery. A small hammer or anvil attached to a repurposed file. It’s been suggested it may have been used in gold or silversmithing .
