Our first day here, walking the beach, I read a text on my phone. Graham died. All day what ever happens is transitory to this truth. Andrew Marr came to open Caroline Wiseman's philosophy weekend Thursday evening in February. This moment and what he said is lost in time. Like many a person known from… Continue reading Time and Timelessness Aldeburgh February 2020

Coup 53 at Aldeburgh, with Ralph Fiennes
Michael and I arrived just in time to sample a few delicious canapes and down a glass of red, as well as secure a seat in the 3rd row (next to a girl at the end who left and returned 3 times during the film breaking glasses on the way - all very odd). Ralph… Continue reading Coup 53 at Aldeburgh, with Ralph Fiennes
Doggerland – Julia Blackburn and Hugh Brody
A packed Cut theatre on a dull Thursday in March. Julia's face reminds me of Pam, it's that nose and a confidence of a full life. She spoke brilliantly and lyrically. 'The companionship of a big book' What's my connection? Two fold. First my short sight and second my Dutch husbands. Jane Ivimey introduced me,… Continue reading Doggerland – Julia Blackburn and Hugh Brody

From the get go, ordering Tickets, the email that came back was quirky and playful and kind. Also mysterious. Signed We Are Sound. No web site, no pointers to further definitions. I had to… Continue reading We are Sound – Blythburgh Church
Green Book – film at Leiston
With Michael we watched this film on a blustery March Monday night, in an empty and comfortable Leiston cinema. It did not surprise me Michael knows of a good fish and chippy where we eat before hand. It's a road trip, between two culturally and racially different people, both sympathetic and amusingly repulsive, interacting with… Continue reading Green Book – film at Leiston

Aldeburgh Doc Fest 2018
Re reading last years notes, and once again grateful for the recorded memory, I transcribe for Sara: “The wind is a gentle southerly. The moon is almost full. My moon sister comes to the 2nd row to give me a hug. Her father has just died. She is fragile, and she is an orphan.” There… Continue reading Aldeburgh Doc Fest 2018
Lawrance Edwards at Jason’s White House
I almost didn't go. Tempted to continue with the mountain of garden work. Each year something added, Hedgequarters from last year.
