On my usual route twixt home and office I took a moment today to actually stop for a call-in to Sutton Cheney churchyard. Apart from a quick chat with in-law family lying at rest there, I said hello to this chap.

Because it is St Crispin’s Day and because it is the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt.
And because I think this is a cracking piece of music.

This is a lovely programme, it’s available on @BBCiPlayer now.
Sir Roy Clarke talks about writing Open all hours and Still open all hours.
Can anyone explain why, on tv detective type shows, the professional criminal investigators never seem to close their curtains? So that the unknown person hiding in the hedge outside can take photos of who is indoors and of what they are doing.
Makes no sense.
Except the script.

A friend photographed this Brown Argus butterfly in our meadow. Isn't it beautiful? – at Blakeney, England
Just spotted ‘The Longest Day’ on Channel4.
Historical accuracy or not, this film has a special place in our family. My boys watched it repeatedly, they were word perfect. We took them to Normandy, the landing beaches, St Mère Eglise etc, etc. We re-enacted scenes.

Is it even a country lane if it doesn't have grass growing in the middle, a barn halfway along and hedges full of blackbirds? I could walk for miles on the lanes at this time of year (and frequently do), just ambling and listening and breathing in the calm, still evening air as the sun sets. Please, May, take your sweet time, don't rush by.

I only visit here from time to time to check what’s happening and what I don’t catch elsewhere.
In the past few days I have commented on a few posts and now I am getting repeated bot followers. Aaargh!
I wonder what will happen after this post.
Loose tea and a teapot is preferable.

11 years ago #OTD and what a day. A once in forever day. Cortège of a medieval king. #RichardIII
All the local villages had worked hard to prepare and decorate for the day. A long, emotional day full of togetherness, locals and visitors alike. To remember a King.
. @peter_levy Cyril, the @HullCity Squirrel, popped round to my house later on Saturday. It had obviously been a busy day, he was in need of a rest!
