Paper Dolls In Paper Dresses
We went down to Canary Wharf today. It was strangely eery there with the falling stock market and job cuts. I like walking between the big buildings, it makes me feel like I’m in The Borrowers.

Offset
A picnic of jelly fried eggs, sherbet UFO’s, jelly laces, lollipops and candy necklaces may not be the healthiest lunch, but it’s certainly a lot cheaper than any other festival food. Today, we’re...

Wales
