My friend Elizabeth sent me this cheese map from the Paxton and Whitfield shop in Jermyn Street. Ken Field has competition.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year 2021 with one of the most mind-blowing maps of the year 2020. Here is a link to the animated version https://twitter.com/selinawangtv/status/1418569384344256520

I can’t remember who shared this but it is a pretty map so enjoy the animals

This is a special post as Rémi Guédon shared the process, creating a Spilhaus Projection on a wall with white chalk. 1- the wall is clean 2- Drawing 3 – “spilhausation” 4 – Finish with an old rag 5 – Job done

Our friend Reinder Storm sent us this chocolate bar with a map of coffee shops in Amsterdam.

This one from Reinder Storm came in too late for Christmas 2020 so I saved it to kick of our 12 Mappy Days of Christmas 2021. © Patrick Bergsma, Amsterdam (1993)

Reinder Storm shared this. Has anyone told Santa about OSM or Google Maps? Calling Ed Parsons! And this is the start of our 12 Mappy Days of Christmas. Have a good one. Photo: P. Rauhala 

Elizabeth has been saving this card all year to send to me!

Hans van der Maarel shared this lovely selection of craft work using old maps from a friend.

This map van came via Martijn Storms, the novelty is definitely wearing off for me so we may give map vans a rest for a while.

De Grommende Trucker shared this beauty. Not sure where he spotted it

South part of Italy and the Trinacria (coming from the Greek meaning “having three headlands”). Thank you our Trucker @degrommende for sharing

Our friend Alice Gadney had a birthday a few weeks back and this is what she got.

Another Map in the Wild was shared by Nigel Clifford during his trip to the Scottish Isles.

Welcome sign spotted by de Grommende Trucker – not sure where it is but if you recognise the map, let me know.
