Farnham

Swifts are just as confident.

A short time ago, while standing in a churchyard at Farnham in Surrey, watching a bunch of ten or twelve swifts racing through the air, I noticed that on each return to the church they followed the same line, doubling round the tower on the same side, then sweeping down close to the surface and mounting again.

Going to the spot, I put myself directly in their way, on their racecourse, as it were, at that point where it touched the ground.

But they did not on that account vary their route.

It is still, however, very abundant in many parts of Surrey and Hampshire.

It did not long continue very abundant.

Gould was shown the bird and supplied with specimens by a man named Smithers, a bird stuffer of Chert, who was at that time collecting Dartford warblers and their eggs for the trade and many private persons on the open heath and gorse-grown country that lies between Farnham and Haslemere.

Gould, in the work quoted, adds, As most British collectors must now be supplied with the eggs of the furze wren, I trust Mr. Smithers will be more sparing in the future.

Hi.

I'm Jimmy from Surrey, near Farnham.

Hi.

I'm Hannah from Hampshire.

So I've chosen my home.

I'm in Tilford in New Farnham in Surrey and the gate is closed.

The sun is shining and I'm just very calm.

What a wonderful sense of presence to be where you are now, right now, here and now, is where you're happiest.

And again, it's a stroke of luck, Matt.

The book was out on the coffee table and my mum was hosting the annual general meeting of the Farnham and Bourne Choral Society in Surrey.

And there you go.

And one of the women who was in the choir came along and said, oh, Lynne MacDonald, seeing the book on the side, I'm a good friend of Lynne.

I'm in love again, and it feels so, so good.

So today, I'm gonna play you through some of the set that I played at the recent Sunday Soul and Funk club all day, uh, down at the Mulberry in Farnham.

Yeah, it's you and the things you do.

It's you, you, you, yeah.

He left New York for the UK in late 1977, again following his then partner.

He went on to study at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham in Surrey, and then at the Royal College of Art in London.

While he was studying, he returned to India for the first time as an adult and made series that developed themes he'd explored in Montreal and New York.

Though homosexuality was illegal in early 1980s India, still Sunil found that gay men had a presence in Delhi, and in Towards an Indian Gay Image he attempted to capture scenes of queer affection, often set in dramatic landscapes and vistas.
