You’re a mystery
I only see half of you
But I’ve left footprints…

A Lost World: Crowland Abbey, England. Part 1
Crowland Abbey lies in the heart of the English fenland region, in the south of Lincolnshire.
The abbey was one of the more prominent victims of Henry VIII’s and Thomas Cromwell’s Dissolution of Monasteries, an action which made England’s monarch immensely rich.
The present church has been created by adapting what was once the north aisle of the abbey.
Saint Guthlac was the founder of the abbey in the middle of the so-called Dark Ages. The land all around this area of the Anglian kingdom of Mercia was flood prone, quite isolated, yet with plenty of scope for fishing and fowling, making a perfect location for a monastic centre.
What was not taken down or pillaged following the dissolution, was further violated by Oliver Cromwell and his forces in the 1640s during the so-called English Civil War.
Since then, the graves of the succeeding generations have filled the spaces around the ruins.

Paintings: The Norfolk Coast, England
Here is a ‘blast from the past’, some of my many oil paintings on the subject of Norfolk and its beaches. The one above is of the beach huts at Wells.
Below is an interpretation of the beach at Heacham, near King’s Lynn.

Astrology Today: A Happy Friday?
The Moon in Aquarius trines Venus in Gemini beautifully early today. Anything to do with home and family is likely to be easier, more pleasurable, and this also favours light romance. There even might be more positive news in the media this morning.
This would also greatly encourage any social setting, bringing an air of enjoyment. Artistic endeavours should also be favoured.
Later the Moon makes a positive sextile aspect with Jupiter in Sagittarius, which will add to the positive, opportunistic, good vibe feel, especially at home, but also in general. Good time to talk about travel, holidays, pushing that boat out.
Well, it is Friday, after all.
