One of my favourite things about writing this column is that people now email, tweet and Instagram me their photos of numbers – somebody even sent me a photo of a dog wearing an eight-ball jacket! I thought it was about time I shared some of these fab photos with you, so here are three I’ve been sent recently. Valerie Housley spotted the first one on an old fashioned Routemaster bus at a friend’s wedding!

And the lovely Daniel Nelson, founder of modernist design blog Atelier Tally, spotted the middle one on the Brecon Mountain Railway and the bottom one in Hay on Wye while on holiday recently.

Have a great weekend folks.
