The doomsday book comes to mind. Shopping lists, back napkin sketches. Diagrams upon diagrams. Of course it overlaps into Berkshire, a tiny bit of Surrey. The modern counties are not so relevant. This is deeper history reaching back to Saxon times at least. That was an epic piece of research. No folders and subfolders.

I’ve sketched up a typical bedroom to help illustrate what I mean. In this sketch, I’ve rotated the bed 180° so that the head of the bed is opposite the entry and when the occupants are lying in bed, they have a clear view of the door. It’s disturbing and most people unknowingly try to avoid it.

I think through drawing and sketching, for others they might turn towards computer software … I don’t really care. I would suggest a third question, to complete the Venn diagram: What does the world need? I know I believe it. I like to draw I’m not restricting this to pen or pencil on paper.
