The bagpipes were Rosemary Sutcliff’s favourite instrument …. Tho’ her politics would not have seen her favouriting @campbellclaret for his politics …..!
Concluding a short break in the Highlands with our usual trip to Charles Kennedy’s grave to play the Gaelic lament to which he was buried. On a bitterly cold but sunny day like today there is surely no more beautiful burial ground. Now heading south for the big game … #utc

Netherne was the Sutcliff family house in the 1930-1950s, in Devon between the Torridge & Taw valleys, close by Barnstaple, Bideford, Huntshaw Cross, Torridge & Yarnscombe. The gate was at the site of the former gallows, on the corner of three parishes—see #BlueRememberedHills

This is my favourite New Year’s poem, which I turn to at this time every year. It’s actually a bit from In Memoriam by Tennyson. Whether or not you can feel optimistic, a very happy and stable new year to you all.
