Picasso used it in his workshop, Ellen MacArthur and Eric Tabarly took it out to sea: from a blacksmith's forge in France's Savoie region, the simple Opinel knife has come a long way. Today Opinel is a household name and style icon, with its own entry in the main French dictionary and New York's Museum of Modern Art catalogue. Each year, from a single factory in Chambery, three million of the knives...

Tea stained calico (muslin) hand quilting and embroidery and a free machine drawing of a bird. Almost finished months ago, but actually completed this week, after only 40 minutes more work.

I was listening to Dame Ellen MacArthur the other day (as you do). In fact I was ironing myself a shirt whilst listening to Desert Island Discs. Anyway, I was struck by what she had to say about sustainable living:...

British public refuse to fly less to reduce their carbon footprint In many ways the headline is a perfect encapsulation of what I see as a significant issue. 'The British public...' is an odd bunch.

I enjoyed hearing Ellen MacArthur talk about her childhood on Desert Island Discs this morning. As the interviewer said, as a compliment, it sounded more like a 1930s childhood than a modern one. MacArthur also said that: “This world, that I thought as a child was the biggest, most adventurous place you could imagine, is not that big. And there’s an awful lot of us on it. And we’re...
