The Jerome graves at Ewelme, 31 March 2022. For the first time in many years, the yew tree that obscured JKJ’s headstone has been cut right back enabling the clearest view of the four graves for decades. Milton’s stone needs to be de-mossed!

Subscribers to Idle Thoughts No. 37 will have read the President’s report of his eventful morning filming in London with a Russian crew in August 2015.
