Changing trains in Westbury always brings back memories of an evening when Robert and I changed here after a lovely day out with one of his old school friends. So I gasped when I spotted this recently when I was waiting there quite a while. The poem – Aldestrop by Edward Thomas – is one of the ones we included in his memorial service. Talk about an unexpected moment!
The theme for July squares is ‘‘Simply Red‘ and the one rule, whether you square daily, weekly or just the once, is that your main photograph must be square.
I have been away for a few days. I try to catch up…

That’s a pretty house, and would be good for an old fashioned schoolhouse. Looks kind of like a cupcake with frosting, too. 🙂
