I posted it before, but D. H. Lawrence's home in Cornwall is back on the market, after being withdrawn from sale for a few months. It's where he lived in WW1 with his German wife Frieda Von Richtofen...a distant cousin of the infamous Manfred—the Red Baron who was still in the process of shooting down Allied planes over the trenches. Accused of signalling U-boats off the Cornish coast, the couple were hounded out of the village. Their story inspired Helen Dunmore to write Zennor In Darkness.

I wonder how many Lawrence fans turn up at the door....and would it help my career as a writer if I bought it? Children's writer Michael Morpurgo owned it from 1978-1985, using it as his summer home...writing War Horse there.

All I've got to do is win the lottery to afford it!

From Outro, theme for Cloud Atlas

I am the king in my own land
Facing tempests of dust
I'll fight until the end
Creatures of my dreams
Raise up and dance with me
Now and forever
I am your king

The song writer said it. I think that's it really. For all us kind of folk. For every kind of folk, in our own, different ways.
