Love this corner in our York friends’ front room. I look forward to a day when we stop being such hoarders in our household so we have LESS STUFF, but I’m not sure we’ll ever get there.

Rae having a snooze. Which she did a lot, just like a cat. This is why I think a greyhound would be such an easy transition for us if we were ever to get a dog.

O getting the giggles whilst trying to keep her arms warm whilst eating an apple.

The little dudes in da house, in gaming heaven, playing Bomberman (love that game!).

This poster makes me smile every time I see it. Oh, the irony of it all.

Hello Mr Famapa! Hello funky hallway!

S and O trying to find some prints for us in the studio. This family are seriously talented.

S set himself a challenge during lockdown to make monoprints of every painting in the National Gallery, which of course lockdown wasn't long enough for. But maybe he’ll have a chance to continue come autumn, when it’ll all most probably kick off again.

His daughter O had a go at another Da Vinci work, and I so wish I remember now what this technique was. I’m reading a Leonardo Da Vinci biography at the moment, so it’s so cool to see these versions, made by our friends.

A couple of versions of the Portrait of a Man by Jan Van Eyck. Especially love the one on the right.

Who’s this crazy lady?! I realised there were (as usual) no pictures of me from this trip, so I quickly took this when everyone else were out of the room.

Had such a great time with these guys and I really hope we get to hang out again soon.
