Wheat

"The wheat field has .... poetry in it; it is like a memory of something one has once seen"


Extract from a letter written on 22nd December 1889 to Vincent van Gogh by his brother Theo, referring to his painting Enclosed Field with Rising Sun (also known as The Wheat Field)



Backblip for Sunday 21st February 2016

I don't think we stopped all day.  We had to get to church early for Mum to prepare for her sidesman duties, followed by our usual lunch out.  After that I went back and forth twice to pick up Mum's friends Hazel and Gwynneth and bring them over for tea and cake (I've still only got the 2-seater StreetKa at the moment, while the Vauxhall awaits being fixed).  At the end of the afternoon, I ferried the two ladies back to their homes in shifts too - good job they both only live around the corner!
