The third hat in Southampton
The hire car, Dugg, had to go back to its owners, so I dropped it off at nearby Southampton Airport. Then it was back to buses for me. And upstairs too. It was a Uni bus, so it went through

Chilling in Chilworth, or wherever
I’m not entirely sure where I am. Siri was very confused and announced that I had reached my destination while I was travelling at 70mph on the M27. It took a further 20 minutes of off-ramps and U-turns to find

The Sparkes fly over Dartmoor
After a pleasant drive from Exeter, I am in Tamerton Foliot adjoining Plymouth to visit with my cousin Jan Sparkes and her family. Her mum, Edna Morrison, was the last of her generation when she died last year, aged 106.

The Vicar with a Hooker
The Anglican Divine, Richard Hooker, famously described Anglicanism’s theological underpinning as being like a three-legged chair – scripture, reason, tradition. I note he isn’t sitting on a three-legged stool in this statue in the grounds of Exeter Cathedral – a

“And with thy spirit”

“I tell thee, churlish priest,..”

Eight churches & a synagogue
