I was very excited to receive my copy of Adrian Barber's book 'something beautiful' when we returned from Ireland. The book captures, beautifully, one of my final projects at Action Factory and a project which will stay in my heart forever. I was so moved and inspired by people's willingness to share their ideas, memories and opinions about beauty and it reminded me that ideas don't have to be big or complex to work and engage people, they just need to connect with the imagination, allow space for genuine input and value people's contributions. So, when I had a bit of birthday money to spend (44 and still getting birthday money) I knew exactly what to spend it on.
