Curved Air: nearly 55 years after we saw them at Big Apple in Brighton.
Sub Rooms, Stroud, earlier this evening.
The only original member is singer, Sonja Christina – who's 76. Three of the band members the first time we saw them, seem to be dead.

This is another one of hers. Watercolour done for the cover of Rye's Own magazine.
Smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish. Died on her boat aged 51ish, from heart attack or massive stroke.
"Connie didn't wake this morning," her partner told me.

The previous attempt with sheep was a dismal failure. Although that's what happens when you put seagulls in charge.

Interior of St. George's (Road) Press, Brighton, probably early 1900s.
My great-grandfather worked there as a printer and compositor, though, unless he's the older man on the left, he's not in this photo.

Improvised wagons for carrying British troops. Likely location: Sinai Desert, Egypt, sometime in 1917.
My grandfather took the photo. Troops were on their way from Cairo to fight Germans and Turks in Palestine.

Ivy Bush is the first house on the left. The middle one of the terrace was derelict for many years.
When the BBC4 "Hinterland" series was made around Aberystwyth, location houses had various things done to them, usually to make them look worse.

FYI, we have been to Ypres and around, three times (inc. In Flander's Fields museum).
Last year, we went to Utah beach/museum. This year, along the coast behind most of the other Normandy beaches.

One of our sons has done that twice: here he is the second time in 2023 – takes about 88 hours.
After doing that, there was a leisurely ride to the Portugese border.

Historical precedent: to the best of my knowledge, this bridge over the railway near Seaford station in Sussex, has never had a road over it.

In this photo, instead of the Grange Wind Farm, behind it, Sutton Bridge B gas power station might have been built.
