Wide Wednesday: Shapes on Ham Hill

I met up with my friend Roger for our first walk of the year on Ham Hill near Stoke-sub-Hamdon this morning. He'd come straight from his new-ish job driving a school minibus so, for the first time on our walks, we were without Carly, his faithful retriever.

I always love this of the war memorial and the shapes of the landscape, some natural, some man-made: the area was the site of an Iron Age hill fort and they built earthworks to reinforce the natural defences.

This afternoon I paid another first visit of the year, to my local independent record store, Spaced Out Records, where I picked up a Steve Earle CD and an LP by the Jazz Rock band Osibisa, who I saw live in the early 70s (at The Marquee, I think). I lost / mislaid the one LP I had by them at the time so was delighted to pick this up.

Here they are in their 70s pomp:

There are other clips of them performing quite recently, so hopefully they are still going strong.
