While producing this issue, I’ve been…

… COVETING sweet treats, including this tangerine Teresa tote by Yu Mei. Available from October, it’s the perfect size to stash all my essentials in when I’m on the go.

… PICKING ranunculus. I love the way the light catches their paper-thin petals as they unfurl. I bought these from a florist, but next year I’m going to try growing some myself.

… READING Spring Cannot Be Cancelled

— an exchange between artist David Hockney and his friend, art critic Martin Gayford. I like how enthusiastic David is about the minutiae of everyday life, and specifically nature.
