poliphilo I was thinking I'd write a summary of what we know about the War in the Middle East, but it would have been speculation and guesswork and deductions based on information designed to mislead so I'm not going to. The madness continues, whizzbangs fly in every direction, the US President is demented, Bibi Netanyahu may be dead.
Here in Britain, we notice a steep rise in the cost of fuel......
But otherwise the Spring weather is (intermittently) glorious, the daffodils are in full spate, I'm feeling (intermittently) energised and want to be making things. In a dream last night I wanted to be making a model railway layout.
Yesterday we had lunch with Miriam and Edna at the Hiker's Rest in East Dean. Afterwards we took their dogs for a brief walk in the wood called Butchershole just up the road from Jevington, where my mother used to keep her racehorses. Anna, who trained and managed those horses, has retired now. Nice woman, gave my mother a lot of fun, helped her lose/throw away a great deal of money.
There are two villages in Sussex called East Dean, one in West Sussex, one in East Sussex. They are both very pretty. People get them mixed up. Here are some pictures of our East Dean- east East Dean if you like, taken around midday with the light at its most magnificently harsh and unforgiving. The pub is called The Tiger, the church is dedicated to St Simon and St Jude......
Finally for all you lovers of the Romanesque, here is a close-up of the carving on the church font:
