Day 234 - 7:58am, 23 August 2019
I used lunchtime as an excuse to wander around the West End craft fair. I leave it without purchasing anything, but with my spirit lifted nonetheless. My favourite stall is that of the textile artist Jennie Loudon. Her pointed-face dolls remind me of the drawings in a book of Scottish fairy-tales from my childhood. One day when I am feeling more flush, I will commission her to make a doll for me and it will sit on my desk and inspire me to reconnect with the myths and stories of my childhood, which first introduced me to the wonders of storytelling.
