Mix some Moss roses with Rosa Mundi and you will soon have a rose-hedge so thick and romantic that all the nightingales of the neighbouring woods will come to press their breasts in song against the thorns. #gardening

The architectural decline of London:

The Euston Arch was a 70-foot-tall neoclassical Doric propylaeum built in 1837 as the grand entrance to London's Euston Station. Designed by Philip Hardwick, it was demolished in 1962 to make way for station redevelopment.

I came across an article from the "Londonist" saying that it was ugly and shouldn't be replaced. Well, looking at what came after it, I'm very confident that I firmly disagree.

To Dalston! A part of London I've not been in for more than 40 years. I expect it's changed a lot...

So pleased with my new velvet clutch bag by Rowena @redrubyrose_ I will treasure it, but also use it lots - not just admire it!
I'm sure all my friends will want one...

Jesus Christ, @Jonesieman talked to 75 (SEVENTY-FIVE) people for his profile of @praddenkeefe. The notion that 75 people could possibly have a word to say about me makes me feel ill. (There’s no way I even know 75 ppl—but just the thought.) Great profile: https://t.co/LK5Iwuy6ML

Any film shooters up in the North East (I’m East Durham) fancy a bit of a wander about the place occasionally, shooting, talking, supping gallons of coffee? Just shout out, I’m always up for a day’s shooting, learning & coffee drinking!
