ORDINARY people doing extraordinary things. It’s a bit of a mantra in the inspiration industry. No harm in that — it’s a succinct and powerful phrase. But I’d like to pay tribute to the extraordinary things doing ordinary things.

The objects that you take for granted. It sounds a bit corny but watching a baby be fascinated with an everyday object does make you look at it again differently.
