A fine WordPress.com site. A Season of Memory and Contemplation. November 7, 2014. I reflected that no research project of this kind, so immersive and all-consuming, can avoid being both intensely personal as well as public and that it was probably permissible to allow a little of the personal to creep out publicly.

He said ‘My dear boy, I never read anything which says Private; that would be most rude’ and so we went over the fence and on.’. My days at Attingham were happy days. We worked hard but when we had time off we could join in with the students.
