place vendome .. every one we met was asking about you ...

proust's little river "vivonne" at illiers-combray

i meant to write to you all ...

... but there just wasn't time ...

it's an acquired taste ...

home again, home again, jiggity-jig !

one night in paris ...

we're off to the land of temps perdus on this coming saturday ....


i'll be wearing my lon chaney wig ... so don't miss next week's exciting episode !

... and six nights in chartres

... where i hope to emulate chaney's heroics, climbing both steeples by moonlight without a rope ... even now, with this stupendous goal in mind, i am strengthening my fingernails by soaking them overnight in a homeopathic concentrate of hot sperm oil and dapper dan ( made from baby seals )

yatton keynell churchyard

lassco ... architectural re-cycling at vauxhall

eventually, the front wheel collapsed and, as soon as i'd replaced it, the handle bars snapped off




i'd been using it every day for a year or two while i was collecting materials for the magic beach

hungering for knowledge in midhurst
