Are there any fairies left in Norfolk?
For those of you who like that sort of thing, I've written a new short story on this topic. It's called "Ferier's Hill". If you want to read it, there's a link in the thread below.

Here's an interesting, indeed slightly alarming glimpse of Blakeney, Norfolk: this WW2 German invasion reconnaissance book provides two images of our village, both easily recognisable today.

@CroneThe86880 This is very common when it comes to veterinary medicine — a bottle is so much easier to handle, especially for those of us with osteoarthritis.

Especially when the pills are almost too tiny to be visible to the naked eye and the packaging is extra- tough.

Dear God, how I hate 'blister' packs. Push pills out and they rocket out in all directions - except into your waiting hand. Bring back pills in bottles. Do we not have glass and plastic recycling now? Blister packs just end up in landfill.

@in81856 @NieMehrKrieg What a very sad story. May Hedwig rest in peace.

18. Juli 1944: Ein gezielter Tagesangriff von 67 US-Bombern auf die lokalen Rüstungswerke.
20. Juli 1944: Der folgenschwerste Luftangriff auf Friedrichshafen im gesamten Krieg.
Da war sie auf dem Feld.

@Pericles494BC This is a lovely picture by an artist I did't previously know - thank you.

@in81856 That was an amazing match! So pleased for Saka and Bellingham in particular. But the whole thing was an absolute joy to watch.

@gerrylynch I think we’re rather late relative to the rest of the country, for weather related reasons.

@fugitiveink I know that that isn’t the Field of The Scarecrow. 😃

@mycathardy That's a perfect photo — just exquisite in every way.

@John_ForemanCBE I didn't know that. That is shameful indeed.

@fugitiveink Yet the remains of Alexei and Maria remain unburied because of obstruction from the ROC. Shameful.

On the night of 16/17 July 1918, Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, their 5 children, and their faithful retainers were savagely murdered in the cellar of the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg by Bolshevik killers. Today we remember the victims of that brutal crime. May they RIP.

@andrewpconnell @CClark_UK A jaunty little seaside bandstand occupied by the dead and dying — that's really very dark. Again, though, it's a superb reminder of the versatility of these artists.

@fugitiveink @CClark_UK The impression I get from the book is that he was a light hearted and charming man, who looked rather like one of his own drawings! But here is something darker - with one of Dunkirk from Bawden below.

Ash. One of the largest churches in the sparsely populated hills of NW Kent between the Darent and the Medway. Highlights are the late C15 crown post nave roof, Decorated Lady Chapel window and 1465 brass of Richard Galon, contemporaneous with the one at Chislehurst.
English
@andrewpconnell @CClark_UK It does! He always seems so light-hearted and charming as an illustrator, and yet he must have seen plenty of appalling things — it's a strange paradox. I do love his drawing — it absolutely fizzes with vitality.
English
@fugitiveink @CClark_UK Sorry to bang on about this: I remember as a kid a book called something like The Green Umbrella, by Naomi Mitchinson, which was about the Italian Partisans and was illustrated by EA. Knowing now that he went through the Italian Campaign as an artist adds a new dimension to it.

@GeoffreyMunn1 @ahistoryinart He is. These loosely-painted landscapes look all but effortless, which is perhaps the hardest miracle to achieve in oils — they are absolute perfection.

William Nicholson painted the small fishing village of Shingle Street which stands at the south end of Orford Beach in Suffolk in 1908. On the left can be seen a Martello Tower and a cluster of fishermen's cottages around the Life Boat Inn, the white, gabled building.

@GilesMacDonogh Those ceilings are terrific — all the same, though, I hope you're feeling much better and can be out and about soonest.

@badsciencemonk @nickfshort @dgjones I was going to mention this to Nick, too — if you want to know the history this book is a great place to start, although NB, it's not compulsory to side with the rebels in this story!

I don't know about the #history (yet!), but this looks like an extraordinary spectacle.

@OlderGrumpyGuy That looks so strange! And it must be really unpleasant to experience first-hand. I hope the smoke goes away soon — it can't be very healthy either.

@fugitiveink Smoke from the fire in Canada has blown down to Norfolk and obscured the sun rise

@nickfshort I’m so glad you were able to take part in that extraordinary event. As for the Tsar and his family, may they rest in peace.

I was also honoured and privileged to be present at the re-burial and at the later dinner in the Hotel Astoria, attended by leading members of the Romanov family. A day I will never forget and one which I never thought I'd ever see.
