shewhomustAndy Goldsworthy at work on Alderney: for the first time, I want to visit the Channel Islands.
Walk magazine makes Menorca sound pretty good, too, with a 105 mile coastal path, the Cami de Cavalls: a UNESCO biosphere reserve with beaches and monoliths.
We spent quite a bit of the weekend at the Sage, going to several concerts in the 'Fiddles on Fire' festival, and in between times enjoying the free music on the concourse and the exhibition of clever and entertaining posters by David Owen - of which this 'Clockwork Morris' is probably my favourite, it's so bold and simple. (Sovay has her charms, though). More about the artist here (including more examples of his work) and a Flickr gallery of his work here.
Into the volcano: thanks to D. for this link, even though it is the Daily Mail, but once you've got your bearings, try these amazing photos from the climbers themselves who know how to spell Þríhnjúkagígur and provide a map (near enough to Snaefell to satisfy Jules Verne).
Gail-Nina sent me this collection of film posters interpreted in the style of Russian woodblock prints; she used the term 'lubok', which I hadn't met before. A Google image search on the word turns up a number of pretty things, including a Lubok typeface (altogether a classier set of wingdings).
Iaion Sinclair on the Festival of Britain: I hadn't known that the festival extended beyond London's Southbank.
