Thought for the day :"I'm 65 years old and just completed my first novel! Tomorrow I will begin reading my 2nd one!"
I will just leave this one here ...
but it does not end there
In other news - I note “Over 200 Freemasons were recipient of the Victoria Cross, that is 14% of all recipients of the Victoria Cross have been Freemasons – a memorial to the thousands of English Freemasons who lost their lives during the Great War.”

| UGLE's Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent, alongside Emily Draper who carved the Remembrance Stone |
The Remembrance Stone was commissioned in 2016 by Granville Angell to commemorate all English Freemasons who were awarded the Victoria Cross. The VC is the highest award for gallantry that can be conferred on a member of the British Armed Forces and since its introduction in 1856, more than 200 Freemasons have been awarded the Victoria Cross – making up an astonishing 14% of all recipients.
The Remembrance Stone was carved by Emily Draper, who was Worcester Cathedral’s first female Stonemason apprentice, having been sponsored by local Freemasons. During the preparation stage of the stone, Emily also found out that her Great Uncle was a Freemason VC recipient.
But it is the first of July
White Rabbits it is - at least the time is correct
and finally - a photo of the sun shining into the Monument on the Coastal Path
I read that the original idea was for there to be mirrors..
Graham Harries tells the story
"The original plan for these monuments was to have a mirror on the top & a laser that would shine from Whitford Lighthouse. This would cover the estuary with a web of light. The only problem was that the lighthouse moved in the tidal waters. This would have caused the laser to miss the mirrors!"
Best laid plans ...
Start of a count down to Mythodea ..
The West Awakes
Cheers
