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.

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.

Great name for a Chinese restaurant – succinct and to the point: Rice Coming!

Snakes and ladders is a game about life and death and good and evil and fate and chances. All tied up with the throw of the dice. I like how these profound mysteries are incorporated into children’s (and adult’s!) games.
