So long, farewell

It's always good to try and leave a few bread crumbs on the trail, just in case you ever need to find your way home.

The suitcase

Is magic

Tough but gentle

Washing your children and their clothes at the same time.





A mum is tough but gentle. A mum also seems only to have male offspring . . .



This is England.



Obviously this is amazing.

To do

Adolf Konrad's packing list, Oscar Bluemner's papers and Franz Kline's grocery list.

Archer

"He bent and laid his lips on her hands, which were cold and lifeless. She drew them away, and he turned to the door, found his coat and hat under the gaslight of the hall, and plunged out into the winter night bursting with the belated eloquence of the inarticulate."

Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence.

Blue for you

Stunning colourways in Forest Hill. Mint humbugs, the spines of Penguin books, packets of Camel cigarettes. Another shy male launderette owner who asked not to appear in any images.

Conflict zone

This weekend's report comes to you from The Laundry Room on Hoxton Street where we caught the local washing-machine repair man at work (he declined to stop for a photograph). Points of interest include the sign on the wall offering £100 as a reward for any information that could help lead to the arrest of a gang who frequent the launderette and occasionally force its closure.













Impressive driers.
