Regular readers will have noticed that it’s been quiet around here lately. The last few months have been pretty hectic with a great deal of change and I just haven’t had the time to keep posting as regular as I normally like to. I’ve yet again not taken my camera out as much as I ...
Last month we were up in Birmingham for the opening of Mr Bird’s Emporium at The Custard Factory. We’re regular vistors there and it’s getting better each time. Previously we were there for the launch of Provide and now with the opening of Mr Bird’s Emporium, with their spectacular Custard Cream event every Saturday, it ...
Provide is a recently launched shop at The Custard Factory, Birmingham. In truth has been open for a couple of months already, but a few weeks back Em and me took a trip up to Birmingham to have a nose as they were also having a launch party. It was worth the visit. The shop ...
A bit more modernist drooling here. Do modernists drool? This one does. Actually to make myself sound cool I’m going to say that I ‘contemplate in quiet appreciation’ this watch. Lovely though innit? I always wear a watch. I don’t really care for digital watches, neither do I like anything too showy or with loads ...

The second of two posts about clothing this week… Spring is in the air and I’m on the lookout for a new jacket. I was just going to get a new G9 but I am always open to new suggestions. I like Farah’s vintage range. In particular I like their polo shirts. I also don’t ...
Those brilliant people over at Clarks have reissued another great looking Original. Jink is the name, which I’m guessing comes from the term of being nimble on your feet. They keep the simple style of the desert boot and transform it to sit below the ankle and of course they have the trademark crepe sole. ...
I purchased this the other day and was very happy from the moment I put it on. Most famous for the G9 which was and is still worn by countless icons the Baracuta name and quality extends into their other items of clothing, most of which can be seen in the fantastically brilliant This is ...
I love Clarks Originals, I’m very rarely out of them (when I’m out of the house that is). In fact, my first every pair of shoes were Clarks Originals – I find them incredibly comfortable and they undeniably have a style that is never out of fashion. Each shoe has a story to tell of ...
