Comments on: At Sandwich https://spitalfieldslife.com/2024/08/27/at-sandwich-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:34:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2024/08/27/at-sandwich-i/#comment-1616728 Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:34:19 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=200613#comment-1616728 As a collage artist, I totally loved the various textures, surfaces, materials, and colors here. Almost like a swatch-board version of a beautiful, evocative place. Weathered timbers, rounded stones, rough stones, polished smooth statuary, glazed tiles, brickwork, incised headstones, slathered plaster, the glint of a mullioned window, cobbled walkway, etc. I absolutely feasted on these details today.

Thank you, GA.

I’d love to go again. We stayed at the Sea Grange hotel at Westgate on Sea. The corridors had a lovely smell of porridge.

Alas, you didn’t mention food in this post but, I do hope that you had a light snack, eaten without cutlery, and involving two slices of bread. I also hope that you visited the stunning Roman fort at Richborough which illustrates how far the sea has moved in the centuries between the Roman invasion and the present day.
