Glorious Titian panel at the Scoletto (little Scuola) at San Antonio Padua. Look carefully. It is sublime.

Perfect place to eat a Monday evening meal. Trattoria al Bersaglieri, Padua. OTTIMO.

And here it is. Considered Giovanni Bellini’s masterpiece

Excellent day in Leiston for #bookfestival. Matters rural and natural aptly discussed as Sizewell C and massive grid works lacerate the Suffolk coast. So many good topics and books featured. Check it at

Freesias, white of course. Inky dark gladioli. One step at a time. Calm after a day battling endnotes. Autotherapy.

HATING the inchoate hatred. Hurricanes come over the Atlantic - so does the ordure.

Obituary of Andrew Saint in Times. Sparkling and spot on. Anyone prepared to leak the identity of the author?
