Bredonborough.
Although the Minx is in Durham this morning, on the street in Bredonborough to acquire Sunday Reading for her return…
Morning reading…
… with an article on exhibitions featuring Cecil Beaton’s
Ashcombe (bought by
Madonna and
Guy Ritchie in 2001)
We lived at Beaton’s Reddish House in Broad Chalke (1987-99), Cecil’s country house following Ashcombe. Our stay was significantly undermined by the impact of
Mr. SG Alder’s managerial abuse of trust; and the Endless Grief occasioned by this.
A morning packing and practising, until lunch.
A call came in from T, relaying a message from Di the Rabbit Whisperer: WillyFred is not in good shape and will most likely fly away in a day or so. This week’s exceptional playfulness of bun, with our evening bedroom-playtimes, WillyFred’s star appearance on Through The Keyhole, may be seen as bun saying good-bye to us and his home. Perhaps remisison? Most likely, WillyFred has renal failure. Simply, this Prince Of Rabbits is now a very old bunny, and has lived longer than most of his kind.
An afternoon practising, and then to stuff c. 17.00. Paper, e-flurrying, organising KC arisings: ticket sales, musical ideas.
20.16 A call from T in Skegness.
21.13 Computing – enough! Off to practising.
22.56 Done. The Minx anticipates being home c. 02.30.
