Murray Crane - Notes From Lockdown
In the first in a series checking in with our stalwart Crane Brothers team, our founder Murray Crane reviews some his favourite books, shows and activities from the last few months.
Essential Items: I love the new loafers. When we were developing these I wore the prototypes for a few months and they quickly became a firm favourite. I also love our new broken twill five pocket pants - I'm a sucker for light coloured trousers over summer and these really hit the mark.
Best Lockdown Read: I am currently re-reading The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson - a fantastic book about wartime Britain.
Best Lockdown Watch: I recently finished Maid on Netflix, which I loved, and have been re-watching Seinfeld (also on Netflix) for some timeless light relief.
Favourite Outdoor Pursuit: I'll be having first swim of the year this weekend which is a bit of a tradition, so I am looking forward to it. Living in Auckland and next to the water is great.
Essential Food or Drink: Water - I don't drink enough of it. I'm also really looking forward to dining out again and supporting some of our local businesses.
What You're Most Excited For: Freedom, warm weather and seeing all of our great clients of course!
