When I first saw it, I just grabbed it as it’s a very pretty cat painting and didn’t even check it until an hour later. Mental.

He designed a chapel in Reims where he is buried. And given he was born in 1898, have you ever seen a cooler looking guy?

He’s still with us (it’s a semi retirement) - he’s condensing down to his other shop that sells African art and kimonos but that magical shop with its little food cart in the window is sussex folklore at this point

Most of my life was laser-focused around Hastings for one reason or another. Get togethers, break-ups, chips with my folks on the seafront. The old town is a place forever changing but always the same. Roberts felt like it might be the big brass pin holding it all together - I’ll be sad to see it go

Picked up a little Victorian oil today from Scottish landscape painter and ornithologist Edward Hargitt. Two kids teasing their playmate who is stuck in finishing lunch. I love how there’s an unspoken story behind it, like a page Tom’s Midnight Garden, The Moondial or a long lost children’s story.

Boot sale score from many years ago, full of holes and I’m breathing in - not sure I’ve ever seen another though.

Any shares of this for algorithmical purposes much-appreciated. I'd love to get these books out of my spare room & into the world before my new novel comes out. I'll sign them all & I really am happy to let people choose what they pay.
