ok so a bit of a trip back in time.
caution. horsemouth is going to give you an account of his journey.
he caught the bus at 0920. it came from a different direction from the usual. then to pontrilas then to hereford bus station. at hereford railway station the train was already waiting. horsemouth opted for the via worcester route (despite the near 50 minute wait at worcester).
the smart people will tell him it would have been better to go via birmingham new street but there was a landslide on the line between worcester and birmingham and replacement buses and all that kaboodle.
he used the wait at worcester to go down to the cathedral precincts again (walking past a number of pretty cafe's and pubs in the side streets, it must be great in summer). he looked desultorily in two charity shops.
so now he's on the 1212 out of foregate street getting into paddington at around 1423. then he will be journeying across the wen. he gave up his seat so a family could sit together, he pointed out to a girl that she'd left one of her phones behind.
so he read the first story bride michael in the stories of robert blythe, one of his hereford purchases. he has plans to get around of few second hand bookshops on his visit (and around some book boxes if he can find any). he has brought a small collapsible bag to help transport his swag. he should probably call in at the old homestead to pick up anything that has survived the wreck. mainly he has come back to visit people. he's thinking he'll make more of an effort to get into town to visit the art.
oxford already.
ok horsemouth is hiding out in highams park. he is in the great wen.
he thinks tomorrow (a wednesday) a wander round the local(ish) area - perhaps over to the william morris museum and the sally army.
thursday a wander round with TG and then with howard.
paul clark on monday.
so he's up. there's a tangerine cat in a tree.
