I’ve been posting regularly on instagram this year, with a different theme each month.

January was objects from my parents’ house, cleared and sold last year; above, Cadbury’s tin, folding ruler, THOR mallet, stud box, small bowl, Polish-English Dictionary.

February was small books; the first one is Burns, and the rest are self-explanatory.

March is postcards of places; above, Copenhagen, Berlin (Ost), Lübeck, Rome, Kirkcaldy, Florida.

If you’d like to see more of these, and what’s to come – April will be Paris, which I visited recently for the first time in a dozen years, and May may be Edinburgh – follow @kencockburnedinburgh at instagram.
