Watch The Giants

Watch The Giants, in Liverpool, in this short film from our summer 2014 visit.

We had no idea The Giants would be in Liverpool. They appear in Liverpool every two years for one weekend only. The Giants come from Nantes and perform a circuit that sees this spectacle travel across Europe.

Sitting on Art

Inside the wonderful Walker Art Gallery is a selection of classic chair designs. You can sit in each, enjoy – or suffer – their design, and then hop to the next classic design.

Ferry Across the Mersey

On our must do list for Liverpool was taking the ferry across the Mersey river. The song immortalised the idea and that same song played on loop as we stood in line waiting to board.

Liverpool

We were in for an unexpected treat visiting Liverpool. We arrived by train from Manchester. A short journey of no more than thirty minutes. The difference between Manchester and Liverpool was striking.

Along the Riverside

This post is about a different, less grand, bank of the Rhône river. A somewhat less trodden section that thanks to a new footbridge is now easily accessible from our apartment.

Last Leaves

The last leaves are clinging on the trees in our nearby park.

Font Pestle 1.2 – Available Now

Font Pestle v1.2 is now available on the Mac App Store. Font Pestle makes it easy to extract just the images you want from iconic fonts.

Crafting Furniture

There is something strangely cathartic about recreating furniture in SketchUp. Given good measurements, I can craft something recognisable in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Festival des Courges / Pumpkin Festival

The pumpkin festival is taking place in our park. Pumpkins sit in flower pots, on wooden palettes, in trays, and on the grass.
