A Trip to England (Part III)
There are moments in your life that cloud things; that make things seem so difficult to comprehend that you just do not deal with them in a way that would seem proper. I was given that photograph of my half-sister and kept it hidden in a drawer from any curious eyes in my house. I did not mention it or even hint at it until my mother confessed that she knew all about her and we both realized that two lies were living in the same house. As I think about that scene between us, I realize that I would not believe it if I had heard about it from a friend (not even the film studios of Hollywood could have imagined such things). But it was too real and made me more aware of what was true and what was imaginary. I paid more attention to the racist graffiti I saw on an embankment wall as we travelled to a cricket match (contrasted with a wheat field that appeared like liquid gold, it was startling to see an attitude so honest). I noted that fruit sold in the markets came from South Africa. This was during apartheid and I made a point of buying a t-shirt that recommended that one Boycott South African Goods. I then looked carefully around that neighbourhood. Cramped homes, grey weather, narrow and mugger-friendly lanes and walls, appalling programs on TV (comedy specials seemed to have to volume of the audience turned way up for the weakest jokes) and I have already commented on the food.

The Elvetham Hotel, Fleet, Hampshire
Dates of stay - 26th September 2022 to 28th September 2022 What a fabulous building steeped in history dating back to the days of King Alfred and beyond. The surroundings are imbued with romance. This is where Henry VIII is said to have met and instantly fallen in love with Jane Seymour in the 1500's much to the annoyance of Anne Boleyn. And there is a nearby oak tree that Queen Elizabeth I planted nearly five centuries ago when she stayed at Elvetham. She was feted with great celebrations which I suspect may have been some inspiration for the opening chapter in Virginia Woolf's "Orlando".
