Hello book
With help from this video (although the many times I watched it, it was muted so not sure what she says!) I successfully managed to master the art of this pop up. So today I made this book!

Pop up
I would really like to successfully make this pop-up. I bought a pocket book of Tokyo today which has two maps, one at the front and one at the back, which fold out just like this.
I found this website which tells you how but after a couple of tries, I haven't been able to make it yet.

King's Lynn
My nan lives in King's Lynn, and we went to visit today as it is Easter Sunday. Had a nice long pub lunch and then on the way home went for a little tour of the town. Including church buildings, the market square and the quay - all of which in my many years of visiting the town, I have never seen.
Some fine signs.
Oldy-woldy pub building.
This looks like it should be on the seafront near a pier I think.
Bad type arrangement.
Best pub sign I've ever seen!
Pretty.

Flying
"There is an art, it says [Hitchhiker's guide], or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
Playground animals & thing
Similar to the dinosaurs I posted earlier in the week, here's some more illustrations for a playground.

British railway posters
I've always really liked the classic British railway posters, in particular the Underground ones. In most cases they're so simple, with clean typography and a colourful illustration. Easily notifiable and pretty iconic in British poster design. I've come across this brilliant collection British Railway posters, whilst looking for images to contrast with A.M. Cassandre's Nord Express posters for my HACCS ‘cross reference’.
Here are some of my favourites (probably quite a lot!):
I actually have an Underground poster similar to these (a print, not an original) that someone gave me, but I've never really had it up on the wall – wouldn't suit my room!
