Bramble and Burdock

The best sort of holiday is one filled with strange curiosities...

It's that time of year again - a time for balmy nights on another shore.

This blog is one year old!

They said it was impossible, they said it was madness, they said it was, frankly, a waste of money... but the naysayers are eating humble pie now (or should that be humble biscuits...?) Yes - the first bourbon* in space! Another IF illo (bit late). *Mmm, my favourite!

... and surroundings. A beautiful part of the country. In a strange case of synchronicity, I've just started reading The Remains of the Day , which also references Salisbury.

Today was spent listening to music... ... and reflecting...

Another effort for IF . I made this a while ago hoping to turn it into a T-shirt design, but as usual never got around to it. I was reading a book about Marx and sketched a quick charicature from a photo of him. He's always depicted with that serious look, hence the captions. He had a hard life, but I think he would have had a chuckle now and then - and he'd certainly appreciate all the bloggers who are "rising up" and producing their own content...!
