The Old Forge (Tuesday 26th May 2020)

When I blipped this allium before  I concentrated on its flowers but subsequently I became intrigued by the base from which they spring, so decided to re-photograph it for Tiny Tuesday, which is hosted this month by wrperry, to whom thanks. I took it in the front yard as I made my way into Calne to buy a copy of Uncut. The CD this month is a rather special edition featuring the label Light In The Attic who specialise in reissues of undervalued albums and unearthed private-press discoveries. Having purchased a copy I sat in the Town Gardens, as we are now permitted to do, and read the magazine for half an hour (see first Extra).
Later in the day I drove to Devizes to buy a couple of terracotta pots in readiness for the following day's Hot Diggity gardening session, and having done that it won't surprise anyone to learn that I returned to Caen Hill for a third attempt at otter spotting, parking up near the Black Horse pub and making my way down to the pound where they had been seen, but again to no avail. I was hassled by several irresponsible dog walkers, including one old couple who imagined I would welcome four wet dogs brushing against me while I was trying to read on a bench, and another two who enjoyed the barking match their two canines were having in front of me. The heron, or at least a heron, was at the other end of the pound.
The second extra shows some wildflowers growing at a lock that might have been a WFW submission on another occasion. I am posting links to albums of the two locations below.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Shin-Jung Hyun And The Men - Beautiful Rivers And Mountains (1972)
My pick from Uncut's Light In The Attic collection Cosmic Cratedigging.
Shin Jung-Hyun wrote this in 1972 in a protest response to president Park Chung-hee, the military dictator who had asked him to write a song in his praise. Shin Jung-Hyun is "a South Korean rock guitarist and singer-songwriter often referred to as Korea's Godfather Of Rock. A pioneer of Korean rock music, Shin is known for forming South Korea's first rock band, Add4, in 1962 and for being at the forefront of the country's psychedelic rock scene of the 1960s and 1970s... Shin was later imprisoned and tortured by Park's regime, and his music was banned until the 1980s. He experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s and has since received numerous accolades recognizing his contributions to South Korean popular music." - Wikipedia
