It has been a while.

Composite image. On the left a map showing the location of the quest and my position. On the right, a view in the other direction, because the view towards the Rabbit was a green hedge with a wall behind it. An empty concrete fountain basin in the foreground with a rustic wooden fence behind it and the gree tops of different tree species in the background, all under a clear blue sky.

No finer way to spend a sweltering 36C Sunday morning than in the cool of a cinema watching the gorgeous restoration of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. So that’s what we did.
