In June 2019, during one of Carl's early-morning walks, a hectoring and intolerable proféssional dog groomer called Sylvia Monkhouse 'rescued' him off the coast path, dragged him back to her low-slung Audi using the belt off her protesting brother's trousers, drove Carl to her sterile greige house near Honiton and locked him in her conservatory. Fortunately, she left the key in the door, which allowed Carl to escape while she was in the living room calling a friend at a nearby vet's then run fourteen miles home through fields, woodland and a couple of gardens, worried all the time about aggressive territorial dogs, the potential of being rescued by another interfering nutter and what kind of panicked state Eric might have descended into at his absence. He was greatly relieved to arrive back at the cottage unscathed, although nonplussed to discover that Eric had slept through the entire saga and upset to go on the internet and discover that he hadn't been the one to first invent the disparaging interior decor term 'greige". *She sounds like a fucking headcase, said Eric, when Carl had recounted his ordeal.

Old facebook post: Colin Macqueen is at Hellens Manor. 23 Jul 2023 • O • • • We found a new local destination - Hellens Manor in Much Marcle. I could share the gardens, the labyrinth, the art or the cream teas, but I was completely taken with all the doors, gateways and arches. Each one a portal to another treasure. + Followed by a bunch of related pics.

When I was a lad, maybe 8 or 10, I can clearly remember trying to visualise two future dates in my mind: - One was 1st January 2000, an exciting time far in the distance when I’d be 38 years old. - The other was 10th July 2026 - “When I’m 64” - an unimaginable point when I’d presumably be decrepit and not fit for much of anything. Now “Doing the garden, digging the weeds” sounds like a fine day. “Who could ask for more?”
