Here is an image from my lunchbreak. I was teaching Animation at Farnham again today, as I do quite often.
Today I went into a field to eat my sandwich and found a burnt out car, looking disingenuous amongst the dandelion clocks, trying to look like it belonged there, or like it didn’t care if you thought it didn’t.
Tum-te-Tumming to itself.
In a circle of burnt grass.
I felt I was part of this unique event. It was my idea to go in the field. Why didn’t I get a mention? I’ve been written out of history. It’s like all those people clustering round Nelson when he died. Nobody ever mentions them. Just Hardy. I wonder how their families feel about that. They’re in the picture. Some of them probably helped carry him below deck. But do they get any credit? No.
