“Really interesting to hear of their early formative years of how it really all started, #Larry is my cousin at around 1978 he came over from #Ireland to stay with us for a couple of days in #NorthLondon and one morning my mother asked me if i could take Larry to the #WestEnd of #London because he wanted to buy some #drumsticks,
…so we both got the bus and the tube and went to #Shaftesbury Avenue where we walked past a couple of #MusicShops until we found one he liked (don't remember the name) …
and he got his sticks, he spoke to me of his band at the time named #TheHype but were looking to change it because a lot of #bands in #Ireland and #England were naming themselves 'THE' something or other i.e. #Jam' or #Clash, etc etc, but had not yet settled on a new name. he was and is still a good friend.” — Paul Leary

‘Twas the saying of an ancient Sage, “That Humour was the only Test of Gravity, and Gravity of Humour. For a Subject which would not bear Raillery is suspicious; and a Jest which would not bear a serious Examination is certainly false Wit.”
Anthony Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury (1671-1713) English politician and philosopher
Characteristics, Treatise 2 “Freedom of Wit and Humour,” Part 1, sec. 5 (1709)More about this quote: wist.info/shaftesbury-anthony-…

Every time we do the long drive to my in-laws’, I shake my head when we pass this #ShitPlayground by a new-build estate on the outskirts of #Shaftesbury in Dorset. Finally, today, I thought to stop and take a photo to share with you all.
What developer looks at this and thinks “Yup, nailed that brief”‽ What world are we creating when we build such #ShitPlaygrounds for our children?

And finally, I stopped in Shaftesbury, the old market town that my family members would presumably have known well as it's just a few miles from their villages.
According to tradition, Shaftesbury was once known as Caer Palladwr in Celtic Britain; actual recorded history dates to the 8th century CE, by which time where was an important minster in the town. Alfred the Great built the abbey here in the 9th century and placed his daughter, Aethelgifu, there as the first abbess. The body of King Edward the Martyr ended up buried here after this murder in the late 10th century, and Cnut died here.
It was featured in the Domesday Book and the abbey continued as an important site until the dissolution of the monasteries. After this, Shaftesbury continued as a market town, but faced decline as industrialisation took hold in the country. Thomas Hardy wrote of it:
"Vague imaginings of its castle, its three mints, its magnificent apsidal abbey, the chief glory of south Wessex, its twelve churches, its shrines, chantries, hospitals, its gabled freestone mansions—all now ruthlessly swept away—throw the visitor, even against his will, into a pensive melancholy, which the stimulating atmosphere and limitless landscape around him can scarcely dispel."
I didn't feel any melancholy, I have to say - even though I arrived at the end of a grey day at the tail end of September, after the abbey had closed for the day. I'd have liked to spend more time there.
