WONDERMART – Compass Festival 2022

Is your regular supermarket trip like doing your ironing, when you go onto automatic pilot to get the job done as quickly as possible, or do you savour the experience, taking your time to contemplate and meditate as you struggle to keep your trolley progressing in a straight line?

My first visit to LIFI 22 was to see one of my television heroes, Kevin McCloud, everybody’s favourite architect and designer, who has a way of offering support to self-builders whilst, at the same time, can cast a look in their direction which says ‘Are you serious?’ – or something a little stronger. This event…
