dear diary ... stayed indoors all day

 

sentries guarding my wine

 

all in a morning's work

 

camouflage ... can't see the wood for the trees

 

pathos ...

 

... comedy ...

 

... tragedy

one of the main reasons for my "career choice"

 

happy birthday, ellen rose forward ! blue skies thinker

 

this is it ! ... the great bikers' caff ...

 

... with matching crockery

saint nicholas' church at little langford ... at last !

for years i've been intrigued by glimpses of this isolated little gem whenever i took the train from salisbury up the wylye valley towards bath

today i deviated from my intended course by many miles and was rewarded

sadly the church was locked today

it doesn't look ever so old from the train when you are two hundred yards away at sixty miles an hour, but it has been much restored

it is only when you find your way down a rough old lane and walk around to the west side of the church that you find an ancient doorway with it's heavily weathered "animated" carvings

when i can find out how old it is, i'll let you know ... unless you can tell me first !

june and tony

three weeks ago today, tony westall and i met in the street outside his garden gate in lacock

sadly, i was in a moving car whilst tony was moving on foot, pretty fast

some very nice men came to take him away in a helicopter whilst his mum and dad both took the trouble to comfort me !

since then he's had three operations including a complicated bit of bone-grafting and things are looking good

as you can see, they aren't the sort to let a little bit of pain get them down !

 

june and her sunny door
