I wait outside the closed shop and listen to the hum of the parcel machine. The shopkeeper arrives and tells me it’s Friday. I carry the papers in. The shopkeeper’s colleague arrives singing ‘It’s Friday!’ The Woman From The Care Home says ‘Friday at last! But I’m working tomorrow!’

I am not always a fan of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's portraits. His landscapes though are a different matter and I'm happy to post this again. He captures the often smokey and murky Whitby perfectly. This dates to around 1890 and I would think it is probably around November.

Living in Liverpool in the 1830-40s, Henrietta was witness to the vast social schisms between rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant, immigrant and non-immigrant. Her diary only tantalisingly, and somewhat inadvertently, reveals her thoughts and feelings.
