"Thanks for posting, Stephen. Alas my best pictures of the park are in portrait format. So disappointing! But I know you'll get an amazing selection to choose from."

"Pleasure, Jake! Thanks for saying so. Really glad it's settled in and (touch wood...!) survived well so far this week. 
Ah, that would be great! I'd say go for it and set them in, if you can grab some gravel to cover over? Happy to help if you like.…"

Jake Hoban replied to Michael Solomon Williams's forum post Bit of Triangle TLC
"It looks lovely, thanks Michael!
I have a couple of wildflowers that I could contribute (courtesy of another forum member) but they would need gravel to stand a chance with the clay."

They were celebrating 75 years since it was built by Colin Chapman in one of these same garages, owned by his girlfriend's parents. Their son and daughter are pictured, about to set off on a repeat of its…

Friday nite at the ArtsFest - intriguing cabaret


Yesterday evening at the All Good Bookshop - artists making evocative sounds with strange instruments, film, poetry and story-telling. The idea - described by our MC and theremin (what?) player - came from the outrageous Cabaret Voltaire: Zurich 1916, where artists got together to work out what they should still say while the world burned in the First World War. The question remains relevant.

The acts used projections, music and words in various combinations which are not easy to…
