Priest (inclusive vaguely Evo), Author of sorts, Geek, Husband, Dad, dice wielder. Poet, Tenor. Chaplain (uni/TTRPG), Trojan Duck, Brit. Extrovert, Gloranthaphile, Traveller fan, nascent alcoholic & EUrophile. Hookland-adjacent.

On glass-topped outdoor table: from front left, Ronald Blythe's Akenfield (Penguin Classics edition), David Southwell's Hookland Fragments Volume One, and a hand-written notebook and pen, referred to by me, the author, as the Blue Book of Hookland. (Other content may feature). Also present are a full pint glass of water and an empty wine glass.
A spiny visitor amidst the detritus about the step to the gate.
A small, pale blue, butterfly on ages skin, apparently resting. Wing undersides are very light blue, with scattered black spots. It seems content enough.
An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy sits on a window sill next to an arty maybe onion-shaped thing, an orange carrot, with green 'hair' and black eyes & smile, across it's lap.
Screenshot of the Met Office app for mid-week, showing peak temperatures of 36 & 37⁰C, and days starting at 20⁰C at 6am.
A rather vibrant shirt, blue background with red, yellow, & green foliage, and orange dinosaur. A black cross, outlined in steel, hangs from a leather bootlace, below a portion of grey beard.
An open rucksack, green, with which nestles "Credo. The Game of Duelling Dogmas" in an orange box.
An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy, adorned with wristbands for neckerchiefs sits on paperwork, atop a desk.
GWR Manor class 2-6-0 locomotive Erlestoke Manor in BR green livery. The astute observer will note from the smoke that she is running tender first, en route to taking on water.
The burning glow of Dawn, just before sunrise. Land slipping to sea to left. Building, trees to right.
A white wall with black handwriting on it. "Work hard in silence, let your success be the noise." "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you." "If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough."
A snapshot of handwriting, artfully on the slant. It shows a partial list of dates, appearing to begin at 2027, and fragments of annotations, 'Shrove Tuesday". "Eid", "Faith Week". What's the betting I'll totally forget about this?
Inside a white plastic bag, a pile of Mongoose Traveller 1st edtion books. Three Little Black Books, High Guard, Psion, Agent, & Scoundrel, and Marches Adventure 1.
An offwhite anthropomorphic pram toy, cuddling a soft toy carrot, sits on one notebook, and propped up against another, in an open suitcase.
As the main text says!
A slipcase box, black with gold-coloured script, which reads (not surprisingly) "13th AGE"
On small round table, upon which rest a cup of coffee, a small green service book (The Promise of His Glory) & a monile phone in a purple case).
Picture of a part of said document, at a suitably rakish angle!
Dark green grass gives way to stark-limbed trees against the last glowing light of day's setting Sun. The view is framed by closer trees, left & right.
A pile of spent teabags upon an inverted purple lid, which belongs to a reusable cup behind them. There's also a red cup, front right, with an unused teabag, subtly different in colour from the white inside walls.
A mustard- coloured bowl, scraped clean, with fork therein...
Dr Moose, allegedly handsome, sits in a comfy chair in Caffe Nero. He wears a maroon blazer & matching hat, a tweed waistcoat over a gold-coloured shirt, the cuffs of which extend past the blazer's sleeves. There's a hint of a dark cravat, mostly beard-hidden. Trousers are blue, the socks of blue & maroon, shoes black.
A screen grab from Duolingo. The Dutch reads "Angst leidt tot woede en woede leidt tot haat." Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate.
Dr Moose, remarkably smart, clad in green (but for the rainbow lanyard hanging from the jacket pocket).
An empty parking space. Behind it, a rubbish bin, the green paint flaking off to reveal red (that shade once used by Little Chef). Behind the bin stands a lamppost, upon which a sign remind Buddies' customers to register for free parking. A hedge is further behind, thinning with autumn, it's leaves on asphalt & block paving. To the left of shot, a magpie strolls in, magisterially. In the foreground, a red car bonnet.
Two pint glasses on a polished wood table. The one on the left with iced water, the one on the right with ale...
The inestimable Dr Moose, clear-eyed & black-hatted, dark blue clerical shirt under black waistcoat emblazoned with Disney-style Winnine-the-Poohs, looks at camera.
