the blank page

Watched a programme that talked about Raymond Brigg’s book – ‘When the wind blows’ that used a double page blank spread – to explain what a nuclear explosion might feel like.  Just white, nothing else.

Also remember a family we met on a plane flying back from Paris sitting near us who lived in Yokohama and chatting to them about places to visit in London – we didn’t speak about what their family had experienced but it must have been present in all our thoughts. We swapped addresses and for some time cards arrived from Japan with small presents from the family.

What we are all doing – Brexit, walls between US and Mexico, fighting over the Ukraine….

Why dont we put as much energy into investing in countrys – who need help and stop building walls
