The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. We will remember. (Button memorial in St. Martin’s Church, Little Waltham, Essex)
Raiders of the Lost Carp
He sits in the tree at the bottom of the garden like an angel on top of a Christmas tree, right at the top, watching. “Raiders of the Lost Carp”
Pantsuit Nation
I’m with Her! I had tears in my eyes when I marked my ballot and voted for an immensely qualified woman for president of the “Pantsuit Nation”
My Inner Gudrun
After a morning of immersion into the artistry of the medieval world at the V&A on Saturday, Jeff and I re-entered modern London and went “My Inner Gudrun”
Opus Anglicanum
We were lured into London yesterday by a wonderful exhibit at the Victoria & Albert Museum, Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery. We arrived “Opus Anglicanum”
Southend After Dark
The nights are drawing in but the weather has been dry, so we’ve wanted to be out and about. Last night we had a wander “Southend After Dark”
Great Socks of Love
Candy corn is a contentious subject- you love it or you hate it, and rarely is anyone happy to agree to disagree. I love it, “Great Socks of Love”
Assandun
Leaving Paglesham the other day, we were happy and full, but we still didn’t feel quite done with our day. Not far away is St. “Assandun”
On the Road to Paglesham
The Essex estuaries are not just about riverways and coastal walks… it’s an interesting area dotted with villages that sometimes merge into urban sprawl. It’s “On the Road to Paglesham”
Autumn on Wallasea
Sometimes we don’t have to wander far to find lovely and unusual landscapes. We have been watching the the transformation of Wallasea Island for the “Autumn on Wallasea”
