Maths was never my strong point but the 72hr Flash Sale is still on & my copies have arrived already! Big up to Stefi @modernistestates.bsky.social - another super edition in the Richmond to Ham guide, I still want to build a Span estate. Bring back reissues for housing projects & not just records.

72hr Flash Sale @modernistestates.bsky.social - just picked up some older Perambulations walking guides & the new (not in the sale, but still a bargain) Richmond to Ham edition, a route I walked & cycled a lot in olden days, but can now peer more closely at the architecture. thingsyoucanbuy.co.uk

New t shirt just dropped from @modernistestates.bsky.social

I endorse this @modernistestates.bsky.social message

As a fan of architecture I have followed some of the other walking routes by @modernistestates.bsky.social and now that we're getting a local one for Richmond and Ham I'll be getting that one too! thingsyoucanbuy.co.uk/collections/...

Need a bit of reading time over the weekend with this fabulous new arrival, a comprehensive study of the Barbican Estate by Stefi Orazi @modernistestates.bsky.social. Having not been for a proper wander round since a geography field trip over 30 years ago, I’m planning a Barbican visit soon too!

As we head into the holiday season, please remember that small businesses are run by humans & have feelings to match.

A reminder that these t-shirts are still available (they’re print on demand, so I’ll keep doing them until the housing crisis is fixed 🤪) All proceeds are donated to Shelter modernist-estates.teemill.com

I bought a very good book in Milan. Yet to devour.

Camden council have done a great job of fixing the tiles on my estate. Really too quality work 👍🏻

@mr-bingo.bsky.social yeahiiieee! Somewhere where we can take the piss out of each other again 🙌

I’m doing a talk in Manchester next month for The Modernist. Tickets here: the-modernist.org/products/wal...

I’m heading to Milan tomorrow, looking at Gio Ponti flats and houses, but if you have any suggestions of other modernist residential buildings, I’m all ears! 👂 Casa Laporte, Gio Ponti 1936 #milan #gioponti

The Golden Lane Estate festive market is back this Sunday! I’m skipping around Milan so won’t be able to make it, but you should go anyway, lots of great stallholders this year!

I've been punching away at my calculator this afternoon and have totted up sales of Perambulations over the last few months and can confirm we've raised another £284.75 for @sheltercharity and a total of £4,738.75 to date. Thanks everyone! thingsyoucanbuy.co.uk

Emails like this make the ones complaining that their Perambulations have arrived bent almost worth it: “we live in one of the few original and unchanged houses on the Royston Summers estate. If you would ever like to see our house and tour our estate I’d be very happy to host you.“ 😍
