Fake Memoir

Message to Margaret Campaign II

February 17, 2021 by Simon Robinson 1 Comment

Could you ever have imagined that the governance of the Church of England might be broken open on a headstone in the city of reconciliation?

A natural mimic of an Irish symbol by The Grand Union Canal, Denham.

Looking Beyond Seeing

February 16, 2021 by Simon Robinson 2 Comments

We had reason to hang some pictures today. I mean, rehang. We’ve been slowly rehanging pictures that we took down off the walls in January. They’ve been stashed around the place while we repainted the house. One of the things we agreed was that nothing could go back up without mutual agreement.

I couldn’t resist taking this shot at the Don McCullin exhibition in Tate Britain 2019.

Fees and Bees

February 15, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

We’ve just been for a walk down the east pier in Dun Laoghaire, something you probably realise we do very regularly these days. From the pier, we had been watching a sunlit ship emblazoned with Corsica Ferries and Sardinia Ferries leave Dublin port. Then, to our surprise, the ship turned somewhere beyond Howth and returned to port.

Message To Margaret Campaign

February 14, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

I posted late last year about a recent case in England where the Ecclesiastical Court of the Church of England in Coventry refused permission for the family of Margaret Keane to include an inscription in Irish on her gravestone without translation.

A natural mimic of an Irish symbol. I found this on from cobbles by The Grand Union Canal near Denham in 2012. It mimics the cross of St Brigid, one of the patron saints of Ireland.

The Muglins Issued

February 12, 2021 by Simon Robinson 4 Comments

It’s a bit late for January but the production issues have been overcome and we mailed out the first issue of the photozine today. The free subscription list of thirty-nine is full but that doesn’t mean a request for a free copy will be ignored in these first few issues.

The Muglins as I saw it yesterday, long after the first photozine went to press.
