Not just 221b

A new mailbox for the play house came with a set of stick-on numbers. Tim suggested 221 (as no letters were included), and helped center those three above the ornament. Owen thought it would be a shame to let all those other numbers go to waste.

Keeping the facts straight

Here is Jupiter, from the bottom of the garden at Sunset Corner, home of Uncle Hughie, Auntie Ceturah, John, Chris, and Ruth. (Photos kindly sent this week by Helen.) I must have been told as a child who it was, but over the years I somehow remembered it as Karl Marx. At some point I must have wondered aloud what Marx was doing at the bottom of that garden. Now furnishing hard evidence setting me straight is Helen, below, with a group of her colleagues in Highgate Cemetery, Islington. Thank you, Helen!
