The reform party nativity scene.
No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation.
And not a f*cking wise man in sight…

The travertine wall is up. A few days leftover for grouting and the wood stove goes in on Monday (fingers crossed).

“There’s many things I dislike about Britain. Then there’s all these other things – the hobbies, the fairs, the agricultural shows, the beaches, Radio 4, a cup of tea – those I love. Photographing it all is a form of therapy for me. It’s defined my life.”

Martin Parr, photographer acclaimed for observations of British life, dies aged 73
From sunbathers to Conservative clubs, Parr’s images were often in vivid colour with more than a dash of humour

Setting out about 4 sq meters of carrelage en travertin, the swapping around of individual tiles to get a good mix of shades and patterns has taken several days. Luckily there is enough floor space in the room next door so it can be left out, like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Ugh, 15cm of snow overnight. I’ll need to shovel a path off the terrace before it get compacted and turns to ice.
