In the last week, I have had a great time. I have also been a little, weirdly, ill.

I…

drove down to Bristol, rushing down the A701 through hills and heather, to get caught in a long traffic jam on the M6
lost all adequate sense of balance, whilst sober, leading me to collapse to the right
spent an evening and a morning in bed, lest I fall over
spent a good couple of days in the company of old friends
visited two cathedrals – one in Bristol, one in Oxford
went to the Tudor House and Bristol City Museum, where I looked at glass and silver and dinosaurs and pianos (all at the same time!)
wandered through the stones of Avebury, my heart breaking
found some old, fascinating family history
had dinner at All Souls with A. and lunch at Blackwell’s with white_hart (a bit dangerous, I thought, meeting in a bookshop…)
finally saw the Killing Machine, “a theatrical meditation on capital punishment, inspired by Franz Kafka’s In the Penal Colony”, which wasn’t working the last three times I tried to see it
drove up the east coast back to Edinburgh
sopped off for a few hours at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, where I have meant to visit for many, many years; it was brilliant, wonderful, and I had a really good time. Lunch was good, too…

I took 325 photographs; so over the next few weeks, I may even write about all this a little bit more.

Two years in a row I spent a week on a music course in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (or rather the college that was based there) - it is indeed a wonderful place.

I can imagine it would be a great place to study music.

And, bizarrely (given I have seen it many, many times!), I particularly like your icon!
