The Big Cheese (Tour)

On a sunny October afternoon in the London neighborhood of Bermondsey, a cool breeze surprised me with the winy smell of apples. It brought on a sudden sharp craving for a nice chunk of Cheddar, the fruit and the cheese together being a favorite after-school snack when I was growing up in Connecticut. This was an appropriate prompt, too, since I was on my way to a very privileged lesson in British farmhouse cheeses at the beginning of an eight-day, cheese-themed trip to London and Somerset run by the specialty tour company Cheese Journeys. My destination was the empyrean address for anyone who really loves best-quality British cheeses: the aging cellars of the Neal’s Yard Dairy. This trip was also a sort of homage to my paternal grandmother, since she’d been the one who’d first pricked my curiosity about cheese with her love of crumbly black-waxed extra-sharp New York cheddar.

[1/5] Artist Harrison Marshall poses outside the skip which he has converted into a home, where he intends to live in for a year, in Bermondsey, London, Britain, March 3, 2023. Returning to the city after a period abroad, he said he struggled to find somewhere to live given the shortage of housing. "As was the case with thousands of people across the city and across the country, the prices had gone crazy. "Skip House" is emblazoned in black across the classic yellow container normally used for builder's waste. "The skip provided me the kind of opportunity to make my own tiny little house," he said.
Harrison Marshall converted a dumpster into a tiny home and moved in last month. The artist came up with the idea after struggling to find a home he could afford to rent in London. The project cost $4,800 and has a mezzanine bed, sink, and kitchen area – but no bathroom. The 28-year-old came up with the idea of converting a dumpster, which are called "skips" in Britain, into a tiny home. They are a common sight outside renovation projects, for example, and can easily be moved to another location if desired.
