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.
That’s me in the illustration.
Always good to hear from an historian ... 😜👍
June 28, 1914. A bad day in #History. A very bad day.
Softly the evening came with the sunset ...
Could be the title of a thriller.
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.
Я могу это ни подтвердить, ни опровергнуть.
You were. Thanks hugely, James. That’s wonderful and I’m very touched.
Thanks. That's very kind of you.
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.
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.
I shall never tire of living in this beautiful place.
