		<description><![CDATA[Come May, I’ll be at the Story Museum in Oxford. The Story Museum is – as you might expect from the name – a magical place. Once it was the main GPO building, a sorting office and a telephone exchange, the industrial hub of an ancient city’s communication system. Now it’s a dilapidated labyrinth with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been reading Jeanette Winterson’s autobiographical memoir Why be happy when you could be normal? What a great title that is. It makes you smile while conveying an almost bottomless sense of sadness. It’s spoken, halfway into the story, by the truly monstrous Mrs Winterson who had adopted Jeanette as a baby and brought her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to see The Artist last week. It’s a charming film, made today in the style of a former period – a black and white silent film. It’s not really a film with a message but the story is about the transition from one technology to another (from silent films to talkies in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my Christmas presents was a lovely, limited edition of John Berger’s recent book From A to X. I’ve always loved John Berger’s writing, and a couple of people have asked me if I know his work – for the flattering reason that they see similarities in our styles. On the train to Edinburgh [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christmas is set, not by chance, around the winter solstice. It’s the year’s low point. “The world’s whole sap is sunk.” A good time to read or reread John Donne’s Nocturnall on St Lucie’s Day, being the shortest day of the year. Our sap has sunk and like nature we need to go into hibernation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was more than a month since Julia had met Marta. Although she had wandered daily around town, the walks had been solitary, with no sign of Marta. Perhaps the weather had got too cold, perhaps she had given birth early. Julia saw the Mayor out and about on most days. He made it his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re in a snowstorm of seasonal words. They lay round about. Or do they lie? We can’t be too sure because often we don’t know what they really mean. What exactly is a manger? (Not a sandwich shop.) Or, come to that, a crib. (Not a card game.) The strangeness of these words comes from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I went to the British Museum to see Grayson Perry’s exhibition “The tomb of the unknown craftsman”. It’s an extraordinary exhibition in which are displayed objects selected by Grayson Perry from the Museum’s deepest archives together with new works – ceramics, paintings, prints, sculptures – he has created in response to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love it when I’m involved in something that works beautifully. It’s a bit like stories of the engineer’s satisfaction at the silent closing of a car door. When we ran the 26Treasures project at the V&#38;A in London last autumn, it all came together with that satisfactory sense of closure. And we imagined that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw an Esprit advert on the tube last week. A young man was holding up a piece of paper: “I wish for my book to be published.” It was interesting that, in trying to suggest ‘we help you fulfil your dreams’ (how?) Esprit had identified the desire for publication as a universal human need. [...]]]></description>
