Hello all,


Hope everyone is fairing okay with Covid-19.


I picked up a beautiful book in ED this weekend; "The Bible of Illuminated Letters: a treasury of decorative calligraphy" by Margaret Morgan.


It seems like no better time to try out this beautiful and historic art and literary form. I already know what my first big piece is going to be, inspired by "The Happy Life" in The Tudors (Henry Howard's translation of Martial:


The Quite Mind; Wisdom joined with simplicity.


I was wondering if anyone has any equipment they are looking to sell which will help me start this journey. Here are a few things I am looking for, but this list is not exhaustive:


- Paints (gouache)

- Pens and nibs: drawing nibs, calligraphy nibs (straight-cut/ edged etc)

- Brushes: (sizes 000, 00, 0, 1)

- Any nice papers for caligraphy

- Ink

- Work surface stuff



Any other suggestions appreciated!

Thanks and have a good day.



P.s. if anyone is looking for affordable, flexible and adapted to you, in-home yoga classes (or in the park etc) admists the Covid-19 pandemic please get in touch. I am fully qualified and insured, having completed my 200-hours in India. My style incorporates Hatha, Pranayama, Meditation and Kundalini/Tantra with my emphasis always being on embodying philosophy and knowledge, coming home to yourself. Mail [email protected] :) Will do a separate post on yoga classes soon!

      Leisure Centre Gym refurb

      I’m super happy that we have an easy to access, relatively inexpensive gym on our doorstep. Yes, some things have gone that I loved to use, but if you take a bit of time and are game to try new things, it’s got a lot to offer. At the end of the month we will have an accompanying app that shows you how to use what they have safely a measure progress. I’ve seen the same people as before of all ages and abilities. Don’t write it off out of hand. It’s an amazing resource that many other boroughs would be proud to have

      I'm not going to Tripadvisor for a review of JL.  Happy to look at this for hotels, and even then with a pinch of salt.

      mattress suggestions please

      I would recommend John Lewis and would stress that to avoid sagging, it is essential to flip your mattress one a month - in both directions ie flip end to end and side to side.
