Hougham

Part of the walk was across rough scrub land. It was much wetter and muddier than expected. Lines of barbed wire and keep out notices. Private property; which is a social relation, and a powerful one. The church of St Lawrence at Hougham has experienced a significant amount of alteration. These changes, expressed for exampleContinue reading “Hougham”

Winter Walk

Script…is pitilessly dragged out into the streets of advertisements, and subjected to the brutal heteronomies of economic chaos…Before a contemporary finds his way to opening a book, his eyes have been exposed to such a blizzard of changing, colourful, conflicting letters such that the chance of penetrating the archaic stillness of the book are slight.Continue reading “Winter Walk”

Late afternoon walk

MSC Laura on its way from Antwerp to Valencia. The sea was constantly changing colour.

Night walking

I went up to London to work in the office, see people, walk around, experience a change of scene, look at the Christmas lights, get lost in the city. It was good fun to go inland for the day. Regular commuting can be tiring, stressful and tedious. Made worse by extortionate ticket prices, the constantContinue reading “Night walking”
