Retired lawyer, publisher, teacher, housemaster. Just grateful that no one ever bothered to sack me. Keen on mountains.

Still the best way to travel.

Superb day. Early bus from Siracusa to Palazzolo Acreide, an ancient Greek colony of an ancient Greek colony, had the exquisite 3rd century BCE theatre to myself and spent the afternoon in a cafe continuing memoirs, 3000 words on the return to Shrewsbury in 2003.

Three hour break from writing. Etna omnipresent on this side of the island.

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

To write memoirs one has to spend February in Sicily. It’s the law.

@AlistairHud Is this anything to do with Judge Dredd, or even Krull, or possibly Tremors???

This afternoon in Wells

Cycling on the lonely Somerset levels - a source of endless delight

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

Saying good bye to our lovely Ukrainian family from Kherson who have been with us for 16 months as they move into their new accommodation in Wells. Lifelong friends!

@ShrewsburyPCE @samaritans @ShrewsburySch Great to have the opportunity yesterday to talk about a fantastic organisation to a fantastic group of Shrewsbury School volunteers representing such an important aspect of the Salopian ethos.

S. Cataldo in Palermo: Roman temple, Arab mosque, Christian church. Perfect architectural harmony.

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

Another ambition achieved on our last day. Segesta.

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

Rather a nerdy ambition achieved. Night train from Rome crossing the straight to Sicily on Europe’s last remaining train ferry.

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

As indeed were the cygnets …

[Richard Thomas Hudson @RichardThomasH8]

The pleasures of cycling on the Somerset levels. I am reasonably sure the algae is natural. At any rate the cignets seemed to be enjoying it.
