I've just been looking through my notes from my holiday. I made notes
throughout, of things I wanted to remember, and places I'd been, things I've
seen.
One such note reminded me that when I was on the plane, heading into
Ascension Island, I looked out the window and saw the
moon. Just the dark sky and the moon. The moon was a crescent and reminded me
of the smile of the Cheshire Cat. It was lovely looking out at the moon,
thinking of a fictional, but mystical, being smiling down on me. Not least
because up at Croft (otherwise known as Crofts-on-Tees), near were I'm from,
there is a little church where Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland, home of the Cheshire Cat, where Lewis Carroll's parents are buried
and where the carvings inside the church apparently inspired the creation of
the Cheshire Cat.
The moon, looking like it did flying to Ascension Island.
The good old Cheshire Cat.
I like little coincidences and connections like that.
Another note reminded me of when I was getting ready to re-board the plane
for the continuing flight on to the
UK. As I looked into the propeller
I was reminded very strongly of a
Zoetrope.

On the way up north we went past
a truck with what seemed to be a sculpture on the back. Me and D discussed how
it looked like Henry Moore sculpture…A quick Google at a later date confirmed
our thoughts. I’m not sure exactly which sculpture it was, but it was
definitely a Henry Moore.
Not quite sure which Moore piece it was, but it
looked very similar to this...all curves and aged green.
