Storm Bert has gone, but there is still a lot of water and it is still very windy. The little stream in our neighbours' gardens is flowing fast. In the summer it was bone dry. The sea is rough, many white waves, little waves. I can't see anything but waves. Nicholas Boson (1660) wrote (in English) about things "seen" by the Duchess of Cornwall!

"On one of the outmost rocks they espy'd a huge beast which they perceived to be a sea horse. Afar off they beheld a meermaid & upon the right hand a Triton sounding his Trumpett attended with a great many Dolphins."

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Bes avel mab an vodreb o ev cosin Calvin ewedh?  Families are fascinating. My ancestor had two wives. They were sisters. The first wife, Mehitabel died, when their son Calvin was only ten years old. T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
