and when you leave …
rain, rain is coming,
storm blows sand
over the roads,
one should protect one’s eyes.
frightened birds swarm
over the land.
the sky is black.
… say slowly:
I love rain.
I love storm.
I am not afraid.
Riekus Waskowsky (1932-1977)
Raf pointed me at this magnificent chocolate map of the Golf du Morbihan in the north west of France. Pic by Nicolas Tavernier
Usually I would make a crack about beer and maps or wine and maps but seriously chocolate and maps – what could be better?
Happy Saint Patrick’s day with a map of Ireland shaped telephone ☘️.
Raf pointed me to this French Cheese Map (possibly inspired by Ken’s Cheese Map of Britain)
Je déclare ouverte la coupe des fromages de France : 64 fromages dont 46 appellations d’origine contrôlée et 9 IGP que vous allez départager !

This 6m x 2m tapestry map is hanging at Heathrow Airport – one more reason to want to fly out of the UK. Via Reinder Storm
Handmade from recycled wool, this tapestry of the #world is incredible; handmade by Vanessa Barragão, with ancestral techniques such as latch hook, crochet and felt. The piece took Barragão and her team more than 520 hours to weave.

I love a map about wine, who doesn’t? This one is on the side of a wine box, it came from Reinder Storm.
“Domaine Nathalie Vigot is one of the smallest in the Vosne-Romanée appellation, only 1 hectare, producing 3500 bottles per year.” I didn’t taste any of her wine, but the boxes in which they come are quite tempting!

One could spend a more than a penny in this mappy toilet.
Apologies, I have lost track of who sent this one to me.
