We were on our way to the site of the Seahenge timber monument when
we came across the annual outing of a dowsing club. The chap leading the
group told us that the place where we were standing was in fact the
actual location, and not where we were heading for, which was a mile
away, and near the golf course. <i>You got the information off the internet,</i> he said, <i>which is deliberately misleading, to stop people digging around this area…and that’s understandable, I suppose</i>.
He’d marked the perimeter of the monument with small plastic yellow
flags, and the dowsers were strolling around the vicinity. <i>It was dug out from here, and is in King’s Lynn Museum now</i>, he went on, <i>but a few years later, they came across another similar site, only smaller, just a hundred yards away over there</i> – he gesticulated vaguely to his left.<i>
It’s buried beneath the sand at the minute, but we’re going to go over
in a little while and do some dowsing, and see what happens…</i><br />
Although I’ve got a lot of time for the Norfolk Archaeology service, I
think that in the case of Seahenge, they got it wrong. Whatever their
reasons for doing so, digging up a bronze-age monument and sticking it
in a museum is really just an act of cultural vandalism, and it’s
interesting to compare that approach to the one adopted later when
dealing with the Happisburgh footprints, which were left in situ after
all the archaeological data had been gathered.<br />

I'll be glad when it's all over, and I don't have to listen to any more of the hyperbollock nonsense issuing forth from both sides of the debate. Neither side is coming out of it very well, but the Leave Campaign has by far the biggest idiot quotient - you've just got to look and to listen to the tousled-haired buffoon and wannabe Prime Minister Boris Johnson, to realise that the people like him who want to run the country after Brexit are stark staring mad, and dangerous to boot. As for David Cameron, he's shown himself to be totally inept and intellectually lazy, always ready to blame everybody else for his own mistakes. The only reason we're having this referendum in the first place is because it appeared in the last Conservative manifesto to appease the swivel-eyed nutter faction of the Tory Party. Unfortunately, now that the Liberals aren't in government, and can't be used as an excuse for the abandonment of election promises, Cameron finds himself hoist by his own petard, and so we find ourselves spending millions of pounds of taxpayer's money, having a needless referendum not because it's in the best interests of the country, but because it's in the best interests of the Conservative Party.<br />
<br />
Vote to stay in Europe. The alternative means a Boris Johnson premiership, which would be disastrous for the country. The man's an idiot.<br />

The last year hasn't been so good - illness, death, and more illness. To quote the song, <i>Things can only get better</i>...tomorrow, I'm clearing out the tin shed, sowing some seeds and planting some tomatoes and herbs. It's good to be back.<br />

pontificating with a pint in hand<br />
about the state we're in<br />
<br />
as he sups his warm beer<br />
and he's not a racist<br />
but there's too many immigrants over here<br />
<br />
too many foreigners taking our jobs<br />
and all of these Muslims with their bombs and their burkas<br />
<br />
- don't get him wrong, he's nothing against them -<br />
<br />
but, you know, the whole place<br />
is going to the dogs<br />
<br />
and all of these Romanians<br />
and all of the Poles<br />
living on benefits, getting the dole<br />
<br />
and all of these migrants<br />
who never bother to learn English<br />
<br />
and foreign aid - what's that about?<br />
charity begins at home, surely?<br />
<br />
and while we're at it,<br />
all of these scroungers on the sink estates<br />
these four-by-four mothers<br />
with their snotty-nosed kids<br />
<br />
these dysfunctional families<br />
that terrorise the neighbourhoods<br />
and the bone-idle bastards<br />
who've never done a day's work in their lives <br />
while we've got to go to work<br />
just to pay for them sitting on their fat arses <br />
<br />
and all of these politicians -<br />
don't get him started -<br />
they're all the bloody same,<br />
too lily-livered, too faint-hearted<br />
<br />
only in it to fiddle their expenses<br />
and further their careers<br />
<br />
he interrupts himself, as he finishes off his beer<br />
<br />
I'll tell you now, he says,<br />
the lot of them's finished,<br />
there's no votes for them anymore round here<br />
<br />
the sooner we're out of Europe the better<br />
we'll pull up the drawbridge and keep the buggers out<br />
and we'll have none of these ridiculous rules and regulations<br />
none of your Strasbourg human rites<br />
and none of your Brussels bureaucrats<br />
<br />
no more being swamped by Eastern Europeans <br />
no more being dictated to by the frogs and the krauts<br />
<br />
we'll make our own decisions, thankyou<br />
and we'll put the great in Britain again<br />
<br />
he looks at his watch -<br />
is that the time, he says, he must be going<br />
<br />
he bids us a cheery farewell<br />
and steps out into the English rain<br />
<br />

We were told that if you cupped your hands to your ears, you'd be able to pick out the churring of the nightjar more clearly, and that if you wave a white handkerchief you'll attract its attention.<br />

<br />
shirt-sleeved committees<br />
sitting round big tables<br />
drawing up strategies<br />
talking to focus groups<br />
<br />
striking poses and hurling<br />
well-rehearsed insults at one-another<br />
<br />
seeing themselves as characters<br />
in hard-hitting TV satires<br />
<br />
but always knowing<br />
deep in their hearts<br />
that the leadership gene<br />
<br />
has passed them by<br />

flying into raking light<br />
detects the marks that man has made<br />
<br />
lush patterns<br />
ghostly traces of habitation<br />
that only a bird's eye can see<br />
<br />
a slight undulation in the landscape casts a shadow<br />
<br />
thunderbolt and elf-shot<br />
found near here<br />

at last<br />

waves dash the rocks below<br />
white noise between stations<br />
the smell of guano carried on the breeze…<br />
<br />
a long journey ends here –<br />
along old migration routes<br />
to this windswept corner<br />

and the pull of the long midsummer days<br />
and the light midsummer nights<br />
<br />
evenly set on islets and stacks<br />
bickering, squabbling<br />
guarding personal spaces<br />
this gannet city never sleeps<br />

well, he picked me up in soho<br />
and he took me to his flat<br />
he sat me on his knee<br />
and put his hand up my back<br />
and he let me do the talking<br />
and it gave him quite a thrill<br />
I said I’m really pleased to meet you<br />
and my name is Stooky Bill<br />
<br />
he said I was his plaything<br />
he said I was his muse<br />
I could’ve gone with anyone<br />
he couldn’t pick or choose<br />
but I said we’d stick together<br />
for good or for ill<br />
you’ll never get away from me<br />
and my name is Stooky Bill<br />
<br />
I used to play the music halls<br />
I’d see my name in lights<br />
I lived out of a suitcase<br />
a different town each night<br />
a gottle of geer down my neck<br />
until I had my fill<br />
I could’ve been somebody<br />
and my name is Stooky Bill<br />
<br />
he said he was a bachelor<br />
but he married late in life<br />
and we all moved in together<br />
me and him and wife<br />
unhappy ever after<br />
in a bungalow in Bexhill<br />
I used to be on the TV<br />
and my name is Stooky Bill<br />
<br />
<br />
<em>Stooky Bill is the name of the ventriloquist’s dummy that was
used by the inventor John Logie Baird in the very first television
transmission in 1926</em><br />

The cage door was open,<br />
but the bird didn’t fly –<br />
<br />
too afraid of the outside world<br />
and too dependent on the hand that fed,<br />
it listened to the doubting voice that said<br />
<i>there’s no way that you’ll survive.</i><br />
<br />
So it weighed up its chances,<br />
and decided to stay put,<br />
but then once the door was shut<br />
<br />
it cursed itself for lack of nerve,<br />
and sang a song of deep regret<br />
long into the night.<br />
<br />
<em>This seed feeder is full of chaff,</em><br />
<em>there is neither millet spray nor grit,</em><br />
<em>this sandpaper hasn’t been changed for weeks,</em><br />

parchment skin<br />
milky, translucent, almost see-through<br />
with purple veins and liver spots<br />
and bad blood bruising<br />
<br />
the body winding down<br />
all that’s left is unconsciousness<br />
and the sound of shallow breathing<br />
<br />
and somewhere buried deep inside the frontal lobes<br />
is a lucid dream<br />
of lying on a bed<br />
beneath a blanket covered with feathers<br />
<br />
outside<br />
it is beginning to snow<br />
<br />

Thomas Bently Brown, rector of this parish,</div>
<div class="">
decades dead, rotting in peace,</div>

(Requiescat In Pace)</div>

waiting for the last trump to sound</div>
<div class="">
across this dreary valley,</div>
<div class="">
echoing through the woods and spinneys</div>
<div class="">
</div>
<div class="">
calling the righteous to rise again</div>

in bodily resurrection</div>

wash away the woods and spinneys,</div>
<div class="">
dig the bones up in the churchyard,</div>

scattering the ashes to the four winds,</div>

dashing their hopes of bodily resurrection.</div>

there’s time and there’s tide<br />
and there’s no man waiting<br />
the little darlings have gone<br />
the scots girls don’t come down any more<br />
<br />
and every day is out of season<br />
the hotels and b&bs are boarded up<br />
the amusements and joy rides are cordoned off<br />
there’s no money going round<br />
and the shops are shut<br />
<br />
even the rubbish waxwork dummies in Louis Tussaud’s<br />
have left town<br />
they’ve been seduced by the bright lights and the fleshpots<br />
of Norwich and of Lowestoft<br />
<br />
and it’s all the fault of the eastern europeans<br />

<div class="entry-content">
Captured ghosts lie tucked away<br />
at the bottom of a bottom drawer,<br />
out of mind and out of sight.<br />
Their images, like the memories of forty years before<br />
will gradually fade away<br />
when taken out, passed around, and exposed to the light.<br />
<br />
Old dog-eared photographs,<br />
a name that appears on census lists,<br />
and maybe a yellowing scrap from the local press<br />
are all we have to show<br />
<br />
to prove that once, we did exist.<br />

<br />
a dead blackbird lies in state<br />
on the floor of an early bronze age tomb<br />
chrome yellow rimmed black eye aligned<br />
to catch the rays of the rising sun<br />
<br />
the darkness has stopped his tongue –<br />
he’ll sing no more songs<br />
to summon twilight down<br />
<br />
now the world must turn in silence<br />
<br />

1 </div>
<br />
Labour to win Norwich South comfortably. Greens second, Tories third, the sitting MP Simon Wright vying with UKIP for fourth place.<br />
Labour scrape in in Norwich North, ahead of Tories.<br />
Labour retain control of the City Council.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2</div>
<br />
Nigel Farage fails to get elected. Mark Reckless gets beaten in Rochester, and Douglas Carswell is UKIP's only MP.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3</div>
<br />
Labour lose a shed load of seats in Scotland to the SNP, but it's not the total apocalyptic wipe out that's been predicted, with them holding on to half a dozen. Jim Murphy wins his seat, Douglas and Danny Alexander lose theirs.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
4</div>
<br />
The Lib Dems lose more than half of their seats, Nick Clegg hangs on to his thanks to tactical voting by Tories.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
5</div>
<br />
Caroline Lucas hangs on to her seat in Brighton, but is still the only Green MP<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
6</div>
<br />
Despite Labour picking up seats from the Tories and Lib Dems, the Conservatives are still the largest party. Cameron claims the moral right to remain PM, and is backed by the media. However, Miliband is able to cobble together a loose working arrangement with SNP members and some of the Lib Dems - though not Clegg - and is able to form a government.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
7</div>
<br />
The right-wing media are apoplectic with rage.<br />
<br />
<br />
