Ideas about the way geography and a particular “sense of place” affects us reminded me about the poem Here, by Philip Larkin (see separate attachment for further information and images). Over recent months, Here has acted as a source of inspiration for a series of paintings. The poem envisages a journey which follows a route from the “rich industrial shadows” of West Yorkshire along the banks of the Humber through to Hull and beyond to the North Sea and “unfenced existence”.

Burton Constable Hall, one of England's most captivating country estates, has been the home of the Constable family for over 700 years. Step inside the Elizabethan gem and explore 30 grand rooms filled with fine art, exquisite furniture and decorative treasures, including the remarkable Cabinet of Curiosities. For a deeper dive into history, join a behind-the-scenes tour of the servants' quarter, where you’ll uncover the life of those who once worked here. Stroll through the stunning parkland designed by 'Capability' Brown, with its tranquil woodland trails and serene lakeside walks. Don't miss the historic stables, which includes Billy the stable boy’s bedroom and the astonishing 60-foot skeleton of a sperm whale, a fascinating link to Moby-Dick! Take a break in the Stables Kitchen for coffee and cake or refuel the family at lunch with a selection of delicious homemade food. Seasonal events and special exhibitions often enhance the visitor experience, so be sure to check the schedule. Dogs are warmly welcomed at Burton Constable Hall!
