I had to take a photograph of the street where we used to live for a lecture I am giving tomorrow to the Art Fund, so I got up early to take the photographs before any of my former neighbours spotted me:-
Since the churchyard was open, I pottered round the churchyard, admiring, as always, Hawksmoor’s abstract geometry:-
And the tombs in the churchyard:-

And the Star of the East:-
