Busy in production mode for an upcoming @bbcworldservice radio documentary called The Social Lives of Bacteria🦠 First time working with presenter @sallylepage and it's been a joy - she does great interviews. The hard work (for me) is underway. Goes out in September.

This is wonderful. Dolores was very talented. Fascinated by dolls house as a kid and those on display at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood - now Young V&A.
This picture is in a dollhouse. A dear family friend (Dolores “Teedy” Lee) who died recently had been working on it for decades. She was an expert woodworker and passionate about antiques. Take a little tour!
