Dear Wen,

Well done!

We should have enough there to keep us occupied for a while.

The jaunt seems to have captured the imagination of a fair few folk… will they show as much interest in the book when it emerges I wonder…

The hairy anchorite made me laugh, again… He, if it is a ‘he’, looks like a Yeti.

There is an extension to the inner and outer symbolism we first flagged up in, ‘The Heart of Albion’ deserving of mention.

Cerne Abbas church if I recall correctly…

The grotesques’ on the roof bosses although inside the church act as supports to the roof ‘of heaven’.

Similarly, the statues of the dignitaries ‘tread’ various ‘sins’ or calumnies underfoot… a little like St Michael ‘quelling’ the dragon or the Beast…

Although, not at all like Lao Tsu riding on his ox…

Of course, it is an ideal.
