More of a Paean by William Gaskell

Bath, 26th May 2015

Think about where you belong
If you don't want to have to behave or conform, then you can always find another way to perform those acts you deem necessary to be you to me. 
Why not move to the city of your choosing? Influence the policy of the local yeomanry so that you are not considered a sex offender, by me, but a player. 
I know it's tough, when the guy whose got your back calls you a loser but it's not just about education: it's the extraneous factor. 
So why not just get involved in society, at last, extinguish those fears that hark back to the past when you were allowed to be like that? 
If you listen to me, I would let you be free, if you would like it, but you must acknowledge that slavery exists and so you should be quiet; 
Unless, of course, you have something to say, which would help in some way, a considered opinion; health, safety and the environment at heart. 
If you have ever crashed a house party then you will know what I mean; you are the hired help so please leave if you don't want to serve. 
Stand next to me and you will look bad, I suggest you give me the slip unless you want to be dead. Then, of course, slip up and die – by any means. 
You are still respected, by God.

Camden Crescent and Hedgemead Park

Camden Crescent at the centre of the image, just above Hedgemead Park viewed from Prior Park Landscape Gardens Here are my thoughts: Did you know that Camden Crescent, originally Camden Place and Upper Camden Place (which is now round the corner) was named after the Earl of Camden, Charles Pratt, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer so sponsored the scheme with his symbol on every door and crest of the exchequer on the decoration at the centre of the crescent? Charles Pratt was actually lord of Camden Place in Chislehurst in Kent. He was mates with William Pitt the Elder from Eton and Cambridge days. It was built 1788-1792 by John Eveleigh the architect.  One third of the 22 house crescent collapsed during a landslip which claimed 136 houses on the slopes of Lansdown Hill leading to the creation of Hedgemead Park below Camden Crescent. John Eveleigh was notoriously bankrupted in Bath, being called to the coffee shop in the Bath Chronicle by his creditors. Earl Camden was famous
