‘Tis the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness (John Keats’ poem, “To Autumn”). I have added an album of pictures taken while walking around Hibaldstow in late September (and also included some of Redbourne and one of North Kelsey). The name ‘Hibaldstow’ comes from Old English Hygebald+stow, for “holy place where St. Hygebald is buried”. An interesting anecdote about the village is that in 1866, during the rebuilding of the church chancel, a Saxon-era sarcophagus was found, containing the skeleton of a powerfully built man. It is presumed to be that of Saint Hybald, a 7th century missionary. Creepy!

News on the job front: I didn’t get the Glasgow job so i’m still looking.
