a fact about my family: my family on my fathers side, the Wimperis side, is rather wonderful, we found great architects, (Wimperis and Simpson, Wimperis and Arber, oh look them up they did some wonderful work) as well as a president of the royal insitiute of watercolours, Edmund Morison Wimperis, a few other important people, and now my aunt is an incredible artist, Sarah Wimperis, and my dad is an awesome light designer.
