Well, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about starting this column. I mean, there’s geeky, and then there’s geeky. But the response has been amazing – thank you so much for all the lovely comments. And it turns out I’m not the only one who collects photos of numbers! If you’ve got some good ones, send them to me and I’ll include my favourites in future posts.

This week, the top number is from a rocket I spotted at Andrew Martin‘s amazing showroom in Kensington (definitely worth an explore if you haven’t been before). I’m sorry, but I really can’t remember where the middle one came from, but the bottom one is a mailbox in Hawaii – I remember that much! Have a great weekend!

(Thank you again to Ian Barnard for the fabulous Polaroid templates.)

    There is a house number (33) painted large on weatherboard near where I live. I’ve been thinking of photographing it for ages, you’ve just inspired me to get on with it.
