My Dear New Friend
Today we’re sharing a totally brilliant letter writing idea from Luke’s wife Alice called @mydearnewfriend.
Luke’s Journal
What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?
Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.
Letter from Luke
As we approach a month of working remotely I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on life at Luke Irwin – our projects and our team.
New Berber Collection
Our new capsule collection of Berber Moroccan rugs is inspired by Brutalist and Modernist design from the early to mid 20th Century. All rugs are ready to ship now.
Violet's Birthday Party
It was my daughter’s 11th birthday a couple of days ago which I have always thought is about the most magical birthday of all. Of course this year her birthday was rather different from last year.
All of you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
And emptiness above –
Know that you aren’t alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.
'Smiling is infectious'
A poem by Spike Milligan
