A day at the Richard Jefferies Museum for the Richard Jefferies Society AGM. I only tend to come here in April, attend the AGM, then the Spring Lecture and home. Repeat 1 year later. The Lecture this year was on the Meaning of Butterflies by Matthew Oates who I used to know fairly well around a decade ago when he was presenting programmes for NHU Radio on his great passion the purple emperor butterfly. I find it interesting when I visit here, it's full of people but 175 years ago was a simple farmhouse containing the baby Jefferies. I wonder what he'd make of the farmhouse in 2024, still containing his actual writing desk.
