The Dover Deviation

Today I ventured to Dover in this foul wet horrible cold weather. At least the visit is out of the way now, with the result that I picked up a hardback book and a small oil painting. The book is “The Life and Times of Charles Dickens” by Alan S. Watts (Studio Editions).
I was glad to get back to the village, and did not have to wait long for connecting buses. Talking of buses, on the journey from Faversham to Canterbury I had the unfortunate occasion to sit behind a cognitively challenged person talking to their imaginary friend. Luckily they soon alighted.
Whilst in Faversham I picked up a couple of cheap vinyl albums for 50 pence.
Stevie Wonder “Talking Book” (Tamla Motown)
James Brown “16 Greatest Hits” (Polydor)
My Play order arrived in the post, a hardback of the Peter Ackroyd biography of Thomas Moore - “The Life of Thomas Moore” (Chatto and Windus).
My next excursion will be on Thursday.
