NIGHT 133 – THE STORY OF KING UMAR ‘IBN AL-NUMAN AND HIS FAMILY

Anyone remember these toys? Viewmasters and stereoscopes. I loved Viewmasters as a child (small collection) and anything to do with the precursors to moving image and film. I studied 16mm film at the Slade as well as oil painting, and I trace my early interest to these toys.

NIGHT 132 – THE STORY OF KING UMAR ‘IBN AL-NUMAN AND HIS FAMILY

Lanterns and tea bricks at Hutong restaurant at the Shard London. If my husband and I go out anywhere, there is usually an interior design inspiration reason too! They also had a moon gate as we do in our opium bed.

Great food also – the 鍋鎉豆腐 golden jade tofu with Chinese leek & coriander sauce was divine. It’s northern Chinese cuisine which I’m not used to so great to try something new.
