A Boxworth Salad

This is a Boxworth Salad. You don’t need the receipt ‘cos you can see it; simply scrumptious and recreated last week as a Rutland Gate Salad.

Smoking Chimneys

It has taken three months to get into Lutyens’ life but it has been worth the effort.

A Dolls’ House

I have finished The Quest for Queen Mary. There was one more especially enjoyable piece: James Pope-Hennessy’s visit to Copenhagen to meet Prince and Princess Axel of Denmark.

Another Hammersmith Horror

Another bit of interesting architecture falls to the wrecker’s ball. It was a vaguely Art Deco garage ( a miniature Hoover building) although it has been empty for a few years as a developer bought up the whole block.

The Year of Wisteria

“Dear patient it is with regret that we have to cancel your appointment with Bogdan the Nurse today.” (sic, text received at 8.00 am this morning)

Holy Trinity, Boxted

Holy Trinity, Boxted, is a small ancient church, dating back to the 14th century. I didn’t take a picture because there is a more than adequate one in the East window (above left).
