Viewpoint: Diary of a Spectacle Designer

I’m writing this column on my mobile phone at the back of a ferry as I leave Greece. It’s been a good holiday but one during which I’ve spent far too much of my time on my mobile phone and here I am secretly working, again. But it’s OK, Mrs D is asleep so I’m unlikely to get in trouble.

I’ve been extremely busy these past few weeks, on your behalf, inspecting sunglass trends so I could report back in this column. Having been staring at everyone walking past me in ways that might have been disconcerting for some people, I am now a fully loaded information gun.
