Only two days left to contribute to our crowdfund to repair our 300 year old chimneys. Over 300 people have now donated, yet we still have a way to go to meet our target... crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-denn…

From chamber pots to commemorative busts: The eclectic world of Victorian pottery at the V&A ➡️ ianvisits.co.uk/articles/from-… A collection of "ordinary china" is currently filling a distant corner of the V&A museum, and its ordinariness is why it's an exhibition worth finding.
