An amazing Weekend at Goodwood


Twenty five classic Bentleys taking part in an historic event in Goodwood’s history, celebrating the spirit of the original Brooklands Double Twelve endurance races of the 1930’s. And the first time that an event of this length has ever been held at Goodwood.

A particularly fitting venue as the current Duke of Richmond’s grandfather, Freddie March, the ninth Duke of Richmond, won the Double Twelve race in 1931 ( unfortunately not in a Bentley though).



RI Exhibition…

Out of quarantine this week and at last…managed to see the 208th Exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours at Mall Galleries.

Just in time as it closes tomorrow.

Art Beats Work!

So sorry to hear of the passing of Milton Glaser this weekend…he was a hero to me and so many other aspiring (student) graphic designers in the late 60s and early 70s. He was not just a stunning designer but also a superb illustrator…a true artist. And he never stopped working….Why would you when you’re that good.

Mr Glaser passed away on Friday on Friday on his 91st birthday.


July Flame is a Peach!

All of Laura Veirs’ albums are superb but ‘July Flame’, now in its 10th Anniversary year is one that I keep coming back to.

All the songs on this album work seamlessly as a whole. Slightly eccentric (and great) instrumentation and beautiful harmonies behind Laura’s lovely voice and guitar. 

And great cover art by Carson Ellis.
