Warm tributes for Alistair Darling today. I remember his daft proposal to add a fourth lane to the M25 to ease congestion. Imagine the cost/disruption! Far simpler to teach drivers to use the inside lane except when overtaking, thus freeing up … Continue reading
A Common Sense of Place
Following an enquiry from Watertown, Massachusetts, I re-viewed A Common Sense of Place, a short video we made eight (8!) years ago featuring the late great Ben Hamilton-Baillie. It’s worth a look. If I let myself think about it, it makes … Continue reading
