Sharing a Cheese Scone With Claude Monet

There is a tea room in the Stables Yard at Lacock Abbey where excellent cheese scones and cake is available. Close by is a second-hand bookshop where you can buy something to read whilst you munch. Today I bought a slender volume of eighteen love poems which George Bernard Shaw wrote for Ellen Terry and 'Small World' by David Lodge. The latter was typeset in Plantin which is a good dense Roman face and easier to read than some weedy excuses for typefaces they use routinely to save a dollop or two of ink in the production run. My work compiling an Occasional Gourmet's Guide to Cheese Scones in Sundry Catering Establishments Along the A350 (discussed here a few years ago with the incomparable Steve Bucknell - see www.ipernity.com/doc/341635/48133194) has pretty much ground to a halt. Few vendors of cheese scones seem likely to supplant Lacock in my estimation, and although I have not charted the whole territory, I find the A350 so busy these days that it's better all round to stick with what I know.

He, not knowing, imperfect instinct. A likeness of her to regenerate this day, Though his days be short. She, knowing all. Intuition sharp and sure. Inscrutable. Divine. With a sideways glance she teases him. Later, he will understand. Now, he sets aperture and speed Wishing she were his camera.
