Sunset over Rye Harbour this evening
#RyeHarbour #EastSussex #sunset

A short drive to Rye, where we spent most of the afternoon at Lamb House, a National Trust property that used to belong to Henry James, and where he entertained his well-connected literary friends.
E.F Benson lived there afterwards.

Sheep grazing this evening in an apple orchard on a farm near Rye

a new clear day
the half-life lasts for ever
and the bittern booms

(watercolour and type on A4 cotton rag paper)

And then we came across the bones of a muntjac, picked clean by gulls and crows

April 17th - a view of Orford Ness from this side of the river.
The Cold War never ended, we just stopped listening and didn't realise that our allies had changed sides.

A carving at Dragon Hall, where we were this evening for the launch of If This Be Magic by Daniel Hahn, a book about the complexities of translating Shakespeare

A legendary Turkish knight slays a mythical reptilian beast, becoming the patron saint of English patriots.

From a wall painting in St Gregory's Church, Norwich, now used as an antique centre.

...and another night at the Octagon Chapel in Norwich, for a lovely intimate gig by Hartwin Dhoore (accordion) and Ross Grant (violin).
Top notch stuff...

To the mediaeval church of St. James the Less, Pockthorpe, home of Norwich Puppet Theatre, for another evening of culture - this time an excellent gig by Kris Drever, with support by Annie Dressner.

Psychopomp (ink and watercolour on cotton rag paper, 80cm x 60cm)

supposedly singularly unkind
the raven will guide us home

A landscape based on the site of a World War Two USAAF base near Knettishall Heath in Suffolk, and now reverted to farmland and a small flying club.

Julian's cell at her church in Norwich today, Good Friday

#JulianOfNorwich #GoodFriday

"I looked with bodily vision into the face of the crucifix hung before me, in which I saw a part of Christ's Passion: contempt, foul spitting, buffeting, and many long-drawn pains, more than I can tell..."

Julian of Norwich

...and some mediaeval ship graffiti from the same church.

We navigated by stars,
charted our course by constellations,
carried cargo on the German Ocean from Lubek to Lynn
and fished for herring and cod
in the cold north waters...

From last night's Evening News - "How to spot the Pink Moon in skies over Norfolk in April". Errr...
Then later on - "The Pink Moon will not appear very pink at all..."

The start of British Summer Time - sixty per cent chance of precipitation, temperature nine degrees centigrade, feels like five.

The old Co-op building on St. Stephen's Street in Norwich. St.Stephen's is probably the most unloved street in the city, and a lot of people are quite sniffy about it, but it has a lot of interesting architecture, and also a lot of interesting people using it...I like it.

Another night at the Octagon Chapel in Norwich, this time to see Rachael McShane and the Cartographers and a splendid evening of traditional music.
