A Very Interesting Friday
May. 20th, 2018 07:41 pmThis isn't normally the sort of story I'd find much point in sharing, because it's all worked out fine so no one needs to be bothered with it. However, I find myself in the position of having to repeat it to everyone in my close acquaintance, so to save myself a little verbal legwork, I'm writing it down here. If you don't want to hear about food poisoning and a late night in an NHS hospital, feel free to skip this entry.
May 18th, 2018 was the 59th anniversary of Cherry's death.
The weather promised to be perfect, after a wet spring that has precluded a lot of good walking, and despite having been by a handful of times I'd never actually dropped in to Shaw's Corner (Cherry and George Bernard Shaw were friends and neighbours and visited frequently) so all the pieces were together for a grand day out. My walking buddy Sydney Padua, of Lovelace and Babbage fame, was up for it too – we'd done the circular walk which took in both Shaw's house and Cherry's grave last year and enjoyed it immensely, so a revisit was a welcome prospect.
( And we're off )
