Fog over Lincolnshire

The Louth Canal, Sunday - a well-mannered brick house set amid foggy and sopping fens and watercourses, like a vignetter from the 18th c. Netherlands

Graveyard-sharing churches - St Adelwold's, Alvingham (L), the only church dedicated to Adelwold - and St Mary's, North Cockerington, burial place of Barnabe Googe. Nearby are the mounds of Alvingham Priory, a Gilbertine foundation (Gilbert was the only Englishman ever to found a monastic order)

I was always conscious of the deficiencies of my Concise DNB (3 vols), so when I saw for sale a complete set of the 1908-1911 edition (22 vols), plus 11 supplements taking me up to the 1990s, I was not going to leave without several extremely heavy boxes (although I did haggle successfully)

For sale. We are told it is an "ornament," which was wise of the vendor, because otherwise we might not have known

Ponderable ephemera found in a charity shop - souvenirs of a 1971 trip to Andorra by one Raphael Caves and family (the paper wallet also contained a leaflet on St George's Chapel, Windsor)
