An attic space with ornate plaster ceiling. The floor is thought to be wonky because originally there was a bell tower above it, which deformed the building.

An attic space with furniture along the right hand wall. There is a small set of steps on the left which give access to the roof.

Some ritual protection marks on the floor joists. They were supposed to trap bad spirits.

Went on a tour of the attic at Knole House in Kent. It's a bit bigger than my attic.

Finished my #KitOff4Victory build ready for We Have Ways Fest.

My first attempt at a diorama rather than just a vehicle on its own.

It's based on photos I found on the IWM website of Cromwells in Hamburg in May 1945 (www.iwm.org.uk/collections/...)

The earthly form of Jesus, with his last breath, reaches out his shaking hand. The spiritual form of Jesus slaps it, leaps over the ropes and ascends the stepladder in the middle of the ring. He grabs the briefcase suspended above it, opening it to reveal salvation for all.

Facebook reminds me that 18 years ago today I saw Kate Nash live. Which makes me feel a bit old. #music #photography
