Oh, that one could write as Rudyard Kipling wrote!
An evolving scientist grew up with a framed copy of Kipling’s “IF” on the study wall. It was therefore a treat to be able to visit Batemans, Kipling’s residence and estate in East Sussex, now a National Trust Property.

Fantastic sculpture! And about ‘If’: I gave my son a birthday card with this poem on the front, and hope he has taken it to heart. Kipling was a brilliant English writer.
Appreciate that you included the photo of Kipling’s writing table. (I definitely think a table is better than a desk!)
True, Jane. He wrote everything by hand. Out of the photo on the right was the typewriter where his secretary typed his manuscripts.
It’s fun to learn from your adventures ?
Beautiful place. Not that keen on the sculpture even if it has surely been done with love!
Love and a chainsaw – that’s the angle ?
I thought about it!
