I suspect even the most Winter-devoted <br>of us have grown somewhat impatient <br>with its dispiriting sky, frustrated with the appearance of an occasional sunny day, only to be betrayed once again by the return of the now all too familiar series of rainy days? Perhaps this architectural ...

(Victory!) This intriguing cover featuring an unvarnished Leigh Bowery captured my attention months ago. Alas, its prohibitive online shipping rate forbade my curiosity's satisfaction, till I finally came upon it recently at a local newsagent. Perhaps you might also enjoy scrutinising its interior?

This most ethereal art exhibition found <br>its inspiration from the Scandinavians' perception of snow, which they behold as an opportunity for joy and celebration rather than as an inconvenience or an obstacle to bear. With our current Winter season nearing its end, perhaps...
