In London today to see Scandaltown at the Lyric, Hammersmith. En route saw these wee bits of Switzerland. Scandaltown was terrific fun btw.

Cambridge
Thanks to those kind folk who suggested things to see and do in Cambridge. I loved the place. Spent most of my time wandering about soaking up the atmosphere by osmosis, in fact walked nine miles around the city centre. The clock was amazing, Heffers full of temptation and the Fitzwilliam Museum a joy. A few highlights-
Next time I must go on to Ipswich. I have a great wish to see Sutton Hoo. I have known of it since boyhood, seen the helmet in the British Museum and love the novel ( latterly a film too) about the discovery and dig.

Go West
Yesterday saw me going West to meet my youngest and her boyfriend for brunch. I always enjoy a trip to Glasgow as there are fine buildings and lots happening around town. Excellent buskers of many different genres added to the fun. I took two photos only. This beautiful eighteenth century building known as The Tobacco Merchant’s House and this sculpture in Buchanan Street Bus Station called The Winchers Stance.
I got over excited this morning as I was able to leave a comment on a blog with ease but very disappointed to find that this was a one off . Nothing changes!

Spring
The beech hedge is at that exciting stage where it greens up. It does not do this uniformly but little by little , each plant taking its own time. The beans we sowed have germinated and others seeds too. Rain and sun combine to drag the sleeping garden forward. Finally a random poster I saw on Facebook by John Howe ( the very best of Tolkien artists btw imho) for an event. The poster creates a snapshot of a fantasy world not so different from our own.
