Today I think of Tony and miss him so. This would have been his 95th birthday. A lion of a man. I met him when I was ten at a protest on the steps of Hackney town hall. And two decades later, we formed a friendship. Both of us had been bereaved. And found some way of talking amidst our grief. As the world mourns, I know he would have created some glimmer of light in all this darkness. #tonybenn @drgotts
#happymothersday to my extraordinary mum… always surprising, always fighting injustice, always brave and incredibly loyal… a riveting woman who I always want to be in conversation with. thank you for being utterly who you are.. and for loving the way you love.

So so sad to hear this beautiful friend has passed away. Actor Mark Blum. An extraordinary, kind, rare person. We were on screen together for years @mitjamazon and Mark became a true friend. Hugely gifted and incredibly present. God, we had fun together. My union Bob. Life was made so much better by you. Mark, we shall all miss you so. Good-night sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

okay, so Sassi, my dear brilliant Danish friend and eco designer graduated from St Martin’s and after a stint at @celine began @casc8 There are all sorts of styles and shapes, but my laptop, headphones and general bits and bobs live in one of these… #greendesign #greendesigners some info on the company:
CASC8 is redefining how we conceive waste materials incorporated into high-end design.
Handwoven upcycled plastic waste by artisans in Gujarat, India. Made into bags in Verona, Italy.
CASC8 is working with an NGO organisation in Gujarat, India, where the concept of collecting plastic waste polluting the landscape was initiated by a group of local women who wanted to ignite a change, concerning the overwhelming amount of plastic destroying their surrounding communities. The socio-economic initiative enables the local artisans to generate their own income from their highly skilled craftsmanship and the project creates income on several different levels, while also keeping a traditional craft culture alive.
After the plastic waste has been collected, it is washed, and cut into strips to be handwoven on traditional wooden looms from the weavers homes.
The finished plastic sheets are then sent to Verona, Italy, where they are made into CASC8 bags.

Repost from @hayfestival using @RepostRegramApp – Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”
