Some time ago I was walking along Kennington Road. I looked down at the pavement and lying at my feet was this image of other feet, though in much pleasanter surroundings than South London. The photo looks as though it had lain on the ground unnoticed for some time, being trodden underfoot, judging by the ragged state of it. I like the fact that what appears to be a casual snap taken in a moment of relaxation on a sunny day has such a pleasing composition. The heavy black shoes act to give the photo depth. Whilst dominating the foreground, they lead the eye beyond into the background, and upwards to the monument, and then my eyes are drawn to the oar, and the little visual journey begins all over again. I don't know where this scene takes place, though it looks as though it's somewhere in Europe. Any suggestions welcome.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects has recently opened a new storage depository, to accommodate the growth of its collection. This facility was completed to the highest specification by E. Edge Builders, also responsible for the prize-winning design of the Pooter Wing. The depository uses the latest technology to monitor temperature and humidity levels, providing a stable climate for the items held there. A 24-hour security staff are on site at all times. Over the next month guided tours will be available to museum visitors keen to explore this hitherto little-known aspect of the museum's life. Please enquire at the ticket desk for further details.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects was delighted that so many visitors attended the unveiling of the portrait of Sir Winston Marsala Potts (Bart. KB KGB) on Tuesday evening in the ballroom (henceforth to be known as the Marsala Potts Ballroom). Sir Potts was one of the museum's most noted benefactors. He was instrumental in the museum's foundation, working tirelessly with the board of governors and trustees to establish the museum as a valuable contribution to Britain's vibrant cultural life in the twenty-first century and beyond. And the board of governors and trustees extends grateful thanks to the fêted society portraitist Jessica Garland RA, for her kind donation of this magnificent work.
