People often remark, "it must be inspirational to live in such a beautiful
part of England". Well- It Isn't really. There are few hay bales; though I grant
you, quite a few rivers in my songs. However- It is most definitely healing,
uplifting and invigorating to the soul, after several hours of trying to capture
in music and rhyme, man's inhumanity to man, to be able find within a mile's
walk such wonderful sea and landscapes. Ahem- Thus one warm afternoon, last
July, I took a few photographs; to humbly try to illustrate the reason why so
many poets, writers, painters & composers from Benjamin Britten to Ruth Rendell have considered themselves fortunate to live here in Aldeburgh. *PjS*
