It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. The background picture is part of a painting I am lucky to own called 'The Isles of Sinodun' by the talented artist @annadillon.bsky.social.

I feel like forgetting the world and just staring at this wonderful image all day. The Valley of the Rocks in north Devon. Possibly my favourite cricket ground.

June 28, 1914. A bad day in #History. A very bad day.

Softly the evening came with the sunset ...
Sunset in rural Suffolk.

It's a dreadful world in many places and for many reasons. And sometimes, I'll be honest, I come close to losing hope. Then I look at this peaceful view and it calms me. Or anaesthetises me. I certainly feel better for it, if only for a while. Night, all.

I found historian Roger Morehouse in a pub in Piccadilly this evening. Honestly, you can't go anywhere for a quiet drink these days.

My mother never recovered. She loved him dearly and thought she was going to lose both of us for a while. She suffered a stroke two weeks after my father's death.

My father died in the sea in Sardinia #OTD in 1974. I was with him and just survived the undercurrent. He was 58, I was 16. I've missed him every day since. I miss the conversations we never had. The moments we never shared. And I will remember him until the day I too die.
Sub-Lieutenant Thomas Edward (Ted) Short, RNVR. My father.

And willows, willow-herb, and grass, And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, No whit less still and lonely fair than the high cloudlets in the sky.
