I feel your pain, I loved them too. Had the same feeling at end of Elena Ferrante Neapolitan saga, quite bereft

[Iain Sankey @IainSankey]

I've just finished the 5th of the 'Cazalet' novels by Elizabeth Jane Howard, and I'm now feeling slightly bereft. The books reminded me of my parents and grandparents lives, and ended 3 months after I was born. The end was very sad in many ways, kind of bitter-sweet.

Hector walked the fence line beside a funeral on Thursday, at the slow march, and nobody in the cortege knew why the horse was keeping step.

The chapel is at the top of the lane. When somebody in the village dies, the hearse comes up from the main road at walking pace with the family behind it on foot, past the yard, past the field, and up to the chapel gate, and the whole thing takes about eight minutes, and everybody stops what they are doing.

Hector was at the rail when it came round the corner.

The farmer saw him change. It happens in the eye first. Then the leg he was resting came down square, and the head came up, and the weight went even, and the old woolly gelding standing in a Welsh field went formal all the way through, the way he went formal for a four year old girl in a hat in the spring.

The hearse drew level. He turned, and he walked.

Beside it. On his side of the wire, matching the pace, which was the pace, the slow deliberate step that was once beaten for him on a drum. Head low. Neck arched. Each foot placed and held and placed again. Seventeen hands of Cavalry Black walking a Denbighshire fence line as though the Mall ran along it, beside a family from the village who had lost their mother, and who looked across, some of them, and did not know what they were seeing, and looked anyway.

At the corner of the field, where the fence turns, he stopped.

He stood square. He did not move a muscle. The cars went past him one by one, the family walking behind, and when the last of them had gone up the lane and the sound had gone with it, the shape went out of him, and he dropped a hip, and put his head down to the grass.

The undertaker, who is old, and who has been doing that lane for thirty years, said afterwards to the farmer that he had seen a great many things from the front of a hearse, and that was the first horse.

Nelson stood by the hedge throughout. He knows what Hector is. He has never once required a demonstration.

Nobody asked the horse to do it. Nobody at that yard has ever asked him for anything. He heard the pace, and the pace was the job, and he has never in his life declined the job.

I thought about you today, we had a lovely cottage pie from Marr Grange farm, over border but great. Just thought a touch of Hendos would be perfect, it was

[TheMoustacheCop @CopMoustache]

Another tree from today, many would have given up, felled due to winds but roots still in the ground and it keeps putting branches out.

It looks like a big green draft stopper.

I am so pleased you have obviously found a niche in social housing, most of my working life in field, best job ever. Tried to message you but not possible now. Good luck, you will be an asset

[TheMoustacheCop @CopMoustache]

Today has been a long, tiring but rewarding day at work.

Someone sleeps tonight with a roof over his head and my support 😊😊

@Gypsypup13 A trip to Singleton Hospital is not to be undertaken lightly, offers of compensation mandatory x

[Billingley Village Hall @HallBillingley]

Tendring DC, the local authority where the constituency is, is not responsible for education, or Social services, that’s currently Essex County Council, the nearest large hospital is in Colchester and it’s been like that for years

@NormanBrennan I was born in the middle of Gower, you are lucky to live in such a beautiful place

[Billingley Village Hall @HallBillingley]

When you reach pensionable age you still can make your own decisions about where you live, if you can manage and afford a large property and garden and are happily settled in the community you live in, it’s absolutely nothing to do with any one else, family, friends or politician

[Why Female Matters 🇬🇧 @whyfemalematter]

So people aged over 67 shouldn't have savings, shouldn't have a house of their own, shouldn't have a pension (according to today's young adults)......but should provide free child-care & if the kids have moved away the parents should move to provide said child-care.
