I am just back in the office after spending a whole week living in a remote converted church in the very far north of England. We had some fun with the cameras and various vintage lingerie creations in an historic setting. https://flic.kr/p/Qwkc5R Built in 1818. https://flic.kr/p/23FgMaD A classic late 1950's…
