Crofton is ace. There’s a windmill there as well, I fully expect you to clog dance in the windmill or I shall be unimpressed

Carp it may well be, I have no idea, it was scarily large and swimming quite happily down the middle of the thames!

I appear to have a growing obsession with stained glass, I started taking photos for an art project that never happened and just don’t seem able to stop now. I’m generally unimpressed with modern churches but some are ace, the military one at Larkhill is really nice, it’s a really modern building but really peaceful and beautiful.

Ooh, I’m going to Crofton next month, with the clog dancers. It looks lovely.

I think the fish might be a carp, but I’m not a fish-identification expert by any means. It does look a bit like the massive beasties in our lake though.

That stained glass is amazing. I’m always a bit confused by modern stained glass – I tend to forget that church windows aren’t automatically Very Old. Lovely stuff.

I heard about this sculpture some time ago, and finally managed to find it today – a really mystical experience finding these massive figures in an Oxfordshire field. I think the derelict barn, and general area really add to the weirdness of the whole thing. As soon as I arrived home, I got online to try and find out more about these wonderful figures, so it was great to find this detailed explanation. I now want to win the lottery, buy that land, tastefully restore the building and live next to those figures. Just such a feeling of wonder standing in that field gazing upon those alien figures.

I discovered last week that the vast majority of hits to the website that I’m currently working on come from people Googling the complete URL. This explains why. Argh.

I’ll give YOU a fucking screenshot, mate.

But yes. These people should just have their internet taken away from them. I don’t mean that nastily, I mean because they are THAT stupid they’re going to wind up buying a house by mistake or emailing their bank details to some lovely Nigerian fellow and they need the big, complex interthingy taken farrrr faarrrrr away from them.

Then they need to be stabbed to death with a kiwi fruit.

(meant that bit nastily)

We should have a copy of that picture on our baby’s bedroom wall, as well as the moon one!

Nice. Sir Francis would be proud. Especially love the copse serial killer evidence.

That would be awesome! Although it may fill me with WANT so possibly dangerous

Ooh, that’s definitely a proper book of joy. I LOVE type specimen books. I should really take you to see the Typography department’s library. They have LOADS of these. I think this one’s all the more special for being personal though.
