'Nostalgia is an illness, perhaps. And yet, it’s beautiful. I live in the present but the past is here, sometimes shimmering, sometimes dimming in the same space as the now. The blackberries I picked beyond the school fence sixty years ago still taste beautiful now.'

Jeff's collages are things of such beauty.

But it's not the start Jeff Young was hoping for: 'I get a room, lie awake in bed, tears falling. For months I’ve thought about EUROPE, about being far away from home. And now I’m in Europe for the first time in my life, all I can think about is Liverpool.'

Nice stack of Paul Simpson’s Revolutionary Spirit in Liverpool’s brand new Rough Trade which opened today. What a book! And the shop is looking great too. ⁦Paul Simpson⁩ ⁦Rough Trade⁩

If you get the chance go and see Mikron Theatre Company 🇺🇦 's Jenni Lee play. 60 years after her Policy for the Arts her ideas are more pertinent than ever. Open University, arts in education, radical vision (and Nye Bevan's wife). Brilliant.
