Tuesdays of Texture: Shoddy workmanship
Posted on January 31, 2017
After last week’s illustration of the high craft of the stonemason, here is a much shoddier example of building work, from a bricked-up doorway in the town of St. Junien.

Tuesdays of Texture: Look Up
Posted on January 24, 2017
Take a moment to look up as you enter St Mary’s church in Beverley and you’ll see some intricate carving – as well as some pretty scary faces.

Tuesdays of Texture: Frog
Posted on January 17, 2017
This is a detail of a metal sculpture that’s part of a water feature to be found in the old part of Sydney, down by Circular Quay.
There’s plenty of texture to be had, but I particularly like the way that the arc of water echoes the curve of the metalwork.
Tuesdays of Texture: Moss

I found this moss growing on a tree in the Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow in central Scotland. The texture (and colour) of the tree bark is also interesting.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rooftiles
Posted on December 27, 2016
Our builders got very excited when a friend of theirs offered them a pallet full of old roof tiles. They asked if they could leave them with us and of course we said yes. They left them, on the pallet, just outside our barn. That was about two years ago.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rope
Posted on December 20, 2016
I really liked the contrast between the black and white plaited ropes and the stainless steel whatever-it-is-that-they-wind-rope-round on this catamaran, moored at Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. We were about to embark on a sunset cruise, so the low evening light also enhanced the texture.

Tuesdays of Texture: Weathered Sandstone
Posted on December 13, 2016
This piece of sandstone down by Circular Quay in Sydney is not only a lovely colour but has also weathered very attractively.

Tuesdays of Texture: Abra
Posted on December 6, 2016
By far the best way to cross from one side of Dubai Creek to the other is on one of the little passenger boats called abras (think motorised gondolas). This one was tied up on the Deira side.

Tuesdays of Texture: Singer
Posted on November 29, 2016
A few months ago Madame realised a lifelong ambition and acquired a vintage Singer sewing machine – similar to the one on which she herself originally learned to sew. At the moment, it’s sitting in our entrance hall in front of a bright and cheerful quilt that hangs on the wall: one interesting texture set against another.
