Reminiscing With Giles And Jean

This morning Jean brought her camper van to Downton Service Station for repair and visited us to wait until the time when she and I had planned to visit Giles in his care home.

Jackie drove Jean and me to the establishment and returned an hour later to take us back to The Old Post House, from which our friend intended to walk back to Barton on Sea.

One of our topics of conversation was Giles’s stained glass period.

This had been prompted by Jean noticing the lampshade he had given me perhaps 40 years ago, followed by the chequerboard present for my 50th Birthday which hangs from the window beside my desk.

Later I carried out a little culling including all but one image from

Chinese Boxes

This afternoon I read more of ‘The Cunning Man’.

Dinner this evening consisted of spicy lemon chicken; meaty ribs in a rack marinated in even more spicy “Firecracker” barbecue sauce, with which I drank red Vega Del Cega 2023.
