Expect us........

We would be celebrating Guy Fawkes night quite differently had Guy not been sitting on a whole heap of wet Gunpowder and the Sargent at arms hadn't decided to do a final sweep of the basement. As it goes at least some things sparkled this year with Swedish designer Amara Por Dios hitting the streets and a project to march on Parliament went anonomously well.

 We begin
 and Finish
