by the door in blythburgh churchyard
surely by the same artist ... i like the way the cherubs' heads incline to one another across that little gap and across all those years

aunt mavis, aged 96 and a half
...reminding me of that Thomas Hardy poem, Heredity
I am the family face; Flesh perishes, I live on, Projecting trait and trace Through time to times anon, And leaping from place to place Over oblivion.
