I do hope that everything gets sorted out swiftly Kate. Look forward to hearing of a full recovery in due course

I visited the church of St. Basil at Toller Fratrum (Dorset) today to marvel at the extraordinary late saxon font. The church was originally part of a Knights Hospitaler establishment.

The willow trees along the banks of the Isis in Oxford were full of singing Chiffchafs today. First of these harbingers of Spring I've heard this year

Recently purchased two lovely watercolours by the late Laura Bell. "Spring Awakening" has a CΓ©zanne-ish look to it and Laura's mastery of light and shadow is perfect in "Mary & Malc waiting". Now to find places for them!
