Before the irrefutable evidence
that smoking isn’t really conducive to your health, gentlemen smoked pipes. And very elaborate pipes indeed.
Last week we were at the UNESCO heritage site of the Abbey of Lorsch. There is a small museum close by and we had a look. A small section is concerned with the abbey, the rest of the building houses Germany’s largest tobacco museum. The combination may be unusual but not the location: Lorsch has been a tobacco growing town for three centuries.

looking at ME!

I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright, And I pity any girl who isn’t me tonight. Our granddaughter enjoyed helping me. It was her who arranged the almond blossoms around this very pretty mouse girl. Monday Portrait

Two for the price of one
I kept asking this couple to pose for me but they were either shy or really itchy – they wouldn’t stay still for a second.

Sir William Chambers
I’ve been digging around in my archive. This statue of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh stands in front of the National Museum of Scotland. The most amazing thing about this photo was the reaction of KI. I asked google who this was (photo search). The answer was a description that it was the photo of a statue of a man, possibly in Edinburgh, “but no guarantees”. When I confirmed the information about the location in Edinburgh it stated that the man depicted was Prince Albert. First KI was humble, then with more information it was confidently wrong. A bit more searching and looking at various sculptures, I’m pretty sure that KI is wrong and I am right: it’s Sir William Chambers (incidentally in Chambers Street).

On my walk on the banks of the Neckar near Ladenburg I met this baby seal.
