Another this week from the archives. Some wonderful stonework by the Normans from Chichester Cathedral; I was taken with the colours as much as the actual architecture.

This week something from the archives to bring a little Spring to this dismal November. These delightful crocuses were taken in our garden a few years ago.

Another from the archives this week. So here I was killing time waiting for a train at Glasgow Central … so I took some photos and later glued them together (digitally, of course) à la Hockney.

This week’s photograph was taken a few weeks ago on our way back from Norwich. We ran into heavy rain as we neared London. Being in the passenger seat I took the opportunity to capture the moment.

Saturday was the Anthony Powell Society quarterly London Pub Meet at the Audley in Mount Street, just off Park Lane. Although attended by fewer than usual we had a jolly time with the some fun and eclectic discussion accompanied by a few beers and some food. And it is the food which brings this week’s photograph for we discovered one of our number about to demolish his, rather dilapidated, chapeau.

Contrary to initial appearances this crust was the topping for a Venison Pie, which I was assured was excellent.
This image appears by courtesy of one Robin Bynoe, who challenged me to make it my weekly photograph.
Another from the archives this week. I’m horrified at how long it is since we were in Axmouth, Devon. This is a shot of their delightful churchyard, just across the Axe estuary from Seaton. And I remember having some gorgeous Dover Sole for lunch in the pub.
This week’s photograph is another from our recent trip to Norwich. Somehow that day we were running slightly ahead of schedule and we had 20 minutes to kill before Sunday lunch. So in true style we set off to find Bawburgh village church.

The church of St Mary & St Walstan, Bawburgh is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk. It’s now fairly plain and much restored but it’s an old church: it hosted the burial of Walstan in 1016 and the (possibly) Saxon round tower was rebuilt in 1309. However it does still have a rather nice fragment of wall painting, an old rood beam and some delightful fragments of medieval Norwich stained glass.
Late on a sunny Sunday morning this was a rather nice way to while away those spare 20 minutes.
Oh and as usual we had a splendid Sunday lunch just across the river at the King’s Head, Bawburgh.
[As an aside, opposite the pub there is a water mill which was the original site of the manufacture of Colman’s mustard. When I was a graduate student I played cricket with the academic who owned the mill.]
