@neiljeffares@ftweekend I am wondering if these children I have here in CT were sketched in charcoal by Ellen Sharples. The "newspaper" is very old. Early 1800s, before she returned to England to sketch Darwin (1816.)
What's happening in residential real estate? Prices are still strong, at all-time highs. It can be a great time to sell or buy as a hedge against inflation. Historically, 30-year fixed interest rates are still very attractive, below 7%.
