I would urge everyone to start looking at the world in a different way. Spend some time looking at everyday objects, at their design, their shape, their individual characteristics. Think ahead and imagine their significance.

Here she is. The Stoke-on-Trent Centenary Mace. Made from Staffordshire bone china, ultra-high temperature advanced ceramics, jesmonite and platinum.

It was such an honour to make this for the home of English ceramics on their 100th year.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

An extremely cool map
A book from the 19th century that depicts the Rhine Valley by creating an impression of three-dimensionality and spatial distance.

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

‘Malcolm’, York from the Outsiders project. He said he became homeless 15 years ago when the police raided the B&B where he was living. They closed it down and threw everyone out with no arrangements for alternative accommodation, so he became homeless and has been homeless ever since.
