Dear #America . This is not an impossible catch. I see international cricketers do it all the time and additionally they don't need to wear a glove that makes their hand the size of a washing up bowl.

Honoured to get a private tour of the art deco (Grade 1 listed) former TFL HQ at 55 Broadway today. Opposite is the brutalist icon that was once the MOJ. Images from the roof of No. 55 #Brutalism #Brutalist Architecture #Brutalist #LondonArchitecture #Architecture #Buildings

I have to sadly report the Royal Mail is now on a par with Yodel and Evri for incompetence. 4 cock-ups in less than a week causing me to waste a lot of time trying (and failing) to sort it. sadly I don't have enough characters for details. The beginning of the end.

Having decided to do a tour of some of London's Brutalist Buildings for The Open House Festival festival I walked the route for a photoshoot yesterday.

Had a good day (and two enjoyable games) photographing at Ealing Trailfinders on Saturday including Trailfinders Women v Bristol Bears Women 🐻. Full photo set: pauldownsphoto.com/gallery/33283/… - being able to combine my 2 loves (apart from my family!) of photography and rugby is a privilege

First of 2 games yesterday at Ealing Trailfinders Ealing Trailfinders Fans Account. Ealing Trailfinders 52 v 36 Nottingham. All of them are at: pauldownsphoto.com/gallery/33274/…

I've recently developed a 'thing for Brutalist architecture and spent Monday wandering London photographing it!

Been a while since I went to Leake Street

Is there a knack to getting your National Trust volunteering manager to answer an email? #askingforafriend

Went to The Saatchi Art yesterday to see an exhibition of work by the incredible Edward Burtynsky. There were also a coupl of interesting smaller exhibitions and this is the first - 'Reclaiming the Landscape'. Well worth a visit. a couple mre here: pauldownsphoto.com/gallery/33215/…

The Fourth Plinth - Trafalgar Square. Apparently one of these will be on the Fourth Plinth in 2026 and another in 2028. I vote for Mr Potato Head and the ice cream van. Sorry about the cat - was playing, unsuccessfully, with the camera settings!

Continuing last Thursday's day of art and culture: When Forms Come Alive at The lovely (I have become a Brutalist fan!) Hayward Gallery . FULL SET: pauldownsphoto.com/gallery/33166/…

2 Temple Place is an almost hidden gem of a building just 5 mins from Charing Cross. It also has a lovely exhibition called 'The Glass Heart: Art Industry & Collaboration'. All of the images are at pauldownsphoto.com/gallery/33157/… but really, don't look at them - go see it live.
