In a year that is remembering the anniversary of the First World War we have poppies blooming down by the cart shed (and also coming into bud by the house). This house has been here through both the World Wars and many previous conflicts in its two hundred year history. We were told that the cracks to the structure which we had to repair were the result of the explosion at Fauld (the worlds biggest non nuclear explosion) which happened in 1944 when an underground ammunition store exploded.
Lucky then that English Heritage let you repair the cracks! Maybe they should have been done visibly in gold. Evidently the Japanese revere age and if a pot needs mending they make the cracks decorative.
