The Siena show at the National Gallery in London was marvellous. Everything was illuminated. Here’s a Duccio crucifixion triptych.

Triptych by the 14th century Italian Duccio showing a crucifixion scene, in a field of gold, downlit.

And there’s nothing like visiting a 5800 year old #LongBarrow for putting things in perspective. I also chose the hour where it was lit up by the sun. Do you spot the #Ammonite?

A moment of sunshine on a grey day. Don’t we all want metaphorically to be that house?

I’m remembering the extraordinary #GeorgiaO’Keeffe #HenryMoore show at #BostonMFA I visited a couple of weeks ago. The storytelling was excellent; the juxtapositions delicious.

In all my time at St Andrews I never found this ancient sacred spring…. Do you know where it is?

OK so in St Andrews last week I might have been seen lurking suspiciously outside a small B&B with half closed curtains… but behind this window many years ago I had an extraordinary life for a year making friends, a magazine, growing up. #revisitingthepast

I heard about bluesky on #bbcradio4 last night while driving home as the cloudy sky turned yellow then grey. I feel like I’m back on Twitter in 2013. Which is a good place.
