183 - Planning A Visit to the V&A East Storehouse

183 - Planning A Visit to the V&A East Storehouse

I’ll be near London Liverpool Street shortly and I do fancy checking out the V&A East Storehouse. Although it will make my head spin. 

It’s like a museum but instead of curated exhibits, you can explore items in storage. They seem to be stored transparently. Which makes sense. It absolutely makes sense. Moving around a physical space and viewing objects which fully occupy that space. Not squatters shoved in, rubbish strewn in a pile or unruly occupants jostling for space. Calm objects with big margins and plenty of breathing space. Models on a catwalk, ready to turn a heel. Soldiers never trip, about turn in proud formation. Platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station. Form an orderly queue to view a smug enamel sign. You’re so vain.

Macmillan Cancer Support

This year I challenged myself to write one blog post per day, for 365 days. The project began on 3 March 2025.

I have linked this challenge to a charity fundraiser, because I want to look outside as well as inwards and contribute to society. It also holds me accountable and adds motivation to write everyday.

Macmillan is an organistation that offers powerful help to anyone (in the UK) who has been affected by cancer.
