Paris

In 1953, swimmers at a Las Vegas motel observe the explosion of an atomic bomb.

Just back from a visit to Paris, which is as beautiful and as good for the soul as ever. I've posted a few photographic impressions of its streets, buildings, art, people and parks on my Flickr page (link in reply)

Here are my two Guardian paperback picks for June! Goodbye Globalization, by Elizabeth Braw & Immaculate Forms, by Helen King. Links to the reviews below. Enjoy! 🧵 #nonfiction #books 📚

Braw’s timely study charts the rise of globalisation from the optimism of the late 1980s to the current realism. A pacy & human story, it weaves economics and history into a compelling geopolitical narrative of the last three decades. Yale University Press London 📖 theguardian.com/books/ng-inter…

On #SussexDay it seems appropriate to have this one for a sunny Sussex Day - Tea at Furlongs, Eric Ravilious, 1939.
