Ebay algorithms at their best?!

Well I’ve decided to scale back and that means closing the Piece Hall shop. So there’s a SALE on! 25% off everything or “Buy 2 get a 3rd free”! So how about a Henry Moore or Quentin Blake or Ralph Steadman or Gerald Scarfe or Tirzah Ravilious or Heath-Robinson for your Wall!

The weather impacted significantly on the Piece Hall and we haven’t opened yet today. We’re all waiting to see if/when we might be able to open. All being well normal service will be resumed tomorrow (Sunday). Look what’s waiting for you! (And lots more of course!)

The new IPCC report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands previous studies and reports - that we are in an emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) summary of the current best available science. 1/2

Above The Gareth!

One of the unexpected aspects of running Off The Wall is customers sending me photos of their bedrooms! In this case to show how good their newly acquired (from me of course) Jean Auscher prints look. Thanks M & B

Just in - 1967 Portfolio of 80 prints (overseen by HM) from Henry Moore’s shelter sketchbooks - wonderful evocations of wartime London, above and below ground!

Just watched my nephew James Reed make an Oscar acceptance speech!! Co-Director of My Octopus Teacher (documentary feature).

When you say you don’t know who to believe on Covid, you’re treating the testimony of frontline NHS doctors and nurses like me as no more believable than anonymous Twitter trolls.

Can you imagine how that makes us feel?

We’re your NHS.

Please trust us 💙

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.
