On And On And On

We did a lot of driving yesterday- and not in the best of conditions.

We went to bed and we were still driving. I don't know exactly what Ailz was seeing behind her closed eyelids but I was seeing twilit country roads- and then forests- by which time I was no longer in a car but disembodied- and then the dry beds of mountain torrents that plunged down and down, getting progressively steeper. I knew I wasn't in any danger so I let the movie roll. It was quite pleasant really...

St Mary, Adderbury 2

Back to Adderbury.

The corbel tables at the west end of the church are a compendium of the weird and wonderful.



Comical bird, bagpiper, winged lion, archer



Peasant, double-headed man/youth and age, mermaid



Zither player, long haired monster



Viol player, monster (human-headed flea?)

As I've noted before, Hieronymus Bosch wasn't the only late medieval artist with a vivid imagination.
