I’m taking a short break to head to the beach with my beautiful family. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be bringing you a beach-themed collection of some of the art, craft and design I’ve found from around the world. It is a constant surprise and joy to see the things that have been dreamed up, thought about, designed and crafted by people’s hands and minds. What people can make, what inspires them, what they have to battle with in their own lives and still be able to produce such beauty is a truly wonderful thing, and I feel honoured to be able to share it with you.

I’ll be back on 28th January.

Oh the sun! Who doesn’t expect the sun when holidaying at the beach? But the sky is a moody beast, and doesn’t always give you what you want. Nonethless, we continue hoping, but know deep in our hearts that rain is good too.
