So, here’s Week Two:
How appropriate that I find myself here on this much-celebrated day – in this country, anyway. Remembering a day when an anti-monarchy plot was foiled there will be many bonfires this evenings, complete with stuffed effigies of the chief plotter. And talking of stuffed effigies, I am tempted to take a short train journey to see a canine character who carries on his charitable work despite having been dead for over a hundred years. He is a fixture that not even “friendly bombs” can shift. But I digress. I am standing in the shadow of a castle that dates from the 11th century. Sadly, it is closed otherwise I could have visited and seen many splendid things, notably a Queen’s dolls’ house. However, I decide to take a Long Walk through autumn leaves towards a giant copper horse commissioned by one king for another, although the inscription patri optimo may have to be taken with a large pinch of metaphorical salt. Evening falls damply in these seasons of “mists and mellow fruitfulness” and it is becoming chilly so it’s high time for me to head back to the relative warmth of the Bubblecraft.
