It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

The background picture is part of a painting I am lucky to own called 'The Isles of Sinodun' by the talented artist @annadillon.bsky.social.
June 28, 1914. A bad day in #History. A very bad day.

Softly the evening came with the sunset ...

It's a dreadful world in many places and for many reasons. And sometimes, I'll be honest, I come close to losing hope. Then I look at this peaceful view and it calms me. Or anaesthetises me. I certainly feel better for it, if only for a while. Night, all.

I found historian Roger Morehouse in a pub in Piccadilly this evening. Honestly, you can't go anywhere for a quiet drink these days.

Goodnight from me and the girls.

My father died in the sea in Sardinia #OTD in 1974. I was with him and just survived the undercurrent. He was 58, I was 16. I've missed him every day since. I miss the conversations we never had. The moments we never shared. And I will remember him until the day I too die.

And willows, willow-herb, and grass, And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, No whit less still and lonely fair than the high cloudlets in the sky.

I've been astride Tommy again for an hour and a half.

A wonderful painting of #Southwold by a good - and very talented - friend of mine.

So when for me life’s latest hour soft passes to its end, may glory, born of earth and heaven, the earth and heaven blend. Flooded with light the spirits float, with silent rapture glow, till where earth ends and heaven begins the soul shall scarcely know.

Allenstein in Ostpreußen, #Germany, as was. Olsztyn in Warmia, #Poland, as is. The latter, my 📷 from November 2016.

26°C in #Bath today. Thinking of getting into my Borat-style swimming costume and going for a plunge.

There is no time like Spring, 
Like Spring that passes by; 
There is no life like Spring-life born to die, 
Piercing the sod, 
Clothing the uncouth clod, 
Hatched in the nest, 
Fledged on the windy bough, 
Strong on the wing: 
There is no time like Spring that passes by …
