Goodbye Grenville Road

After 16 years of living on Grenville Road in North London, we are moving to a new house just a little further north near Alexandra Palace. This is a somewhat bitter-sweet move for us. On one hand we are all really excited about living in a different home with all the opportunities that a new place in a new neighborhood will bring. But we are also very sad to be leaving our lovely home on Grenville Road. 

There are loads of wonderful things about our house that we'll miss; too many to mention, really. But here are four things we'll remember that we thought we would share.

About 50

My 50th birthday was in July and I wasn't sure how to mark the occasion. So I came up with the idea to launch a book of self portraits done by about 50 or so of my friends and family. 

The result is amazing!

This book is an astonishing collection of creative and inspired solutions to a very simple brief; create an image of yourself done by yourself.

But in addition to turning out to be a beautiful and inspired object, it has also helped to connect me with lots of people who I have either lost contact with or don't speak to as often as I'd like. 

I'm delighted by the outcome and touched by the creativity and generosity that has gone into each and every one of the images inside this beautiful book. I couldn't have dreamt of a better and more memorable way to be catapulted onto my fifties.

If you would prefer a traditional book (I must admit, it is miles nicer than the e-book version) then feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment and I will be delighted to help you out.
