Having a moment on this balmy April evening after arrival at our pad in rural Suffolk.

Finished a section of the Viking Coast Path today at sunny Broadstairs.

Beautiful spring morning at Stodmarsh with many bird and waterfowl sightings.

Thinking of my mum today who would have been a great-grandmother this March. ❤️

Sumi-e birdie!

And just to return to Leighton Hse, had to add this one: the stunning Arab Hall (1877-81)

British Library ‘Treasures’ exhibit: a cartoon by Siegfried Sassoon which accompanied the handwritten draft of his poem The March Past (dated Christmas Day, 1916).

Leighton's bedroom is a little monastic but reminiscent of Ruskin's at Brantwood.

The Silk Room is one of many stunning interiors at Leighton Hse, home of Frederick, Lord Leighton.

The beautiful Fitzrovia Chapel.

Aphra Behn (1640-89). English playwright and author. Beaney House of Knowledge, Canterbury.
