AS you know I write these columns a couple of weeks in advance, and the past few days have been particularly wet, with thunder storms and torrential rain sweeping the country. Although I’m not a massive fan of a rainy day, I do love to watch a good storm and downpour from the comfort and safety of my own window.

The bookplate THE Jane Austen Literacy Foundation (JALitF) has commissioned a brand-new silhouette of her by the celebrity silhouettist Charles Burns. Based on forensically accurate wax work reconstruction, the piece will be used to commemorate the 204th anniversary of the writer’s death (July 18). Jane Austen, who was buried in Winchester Cathedral in 1917, has many connections to Hampshire, the county she was born in. The silhouette is to be revealed as a collectable bookplate, with all proceeds going towards JALitF’s charitable projects to improve literacy rates around the world. Charles Burns is a renowned artist, who, in his thirty-year-long career, has cut portraits of some of the most prominent figures of our time – from The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to Neil Armstrong; Nelson Mandela to Jeremy Clarkson; Bill Clinton to Gary Lineker.
ONE of Hampshire s oldest pubs has been given permission to raise the height of its chimneys to avoid the risk of a devastating fire. Civic chiefs have approved an application to safeguard the Sir John Barleycorn by increasing the distance between the top of the chimneys and the pub s thatched roof. The 12th century building at Southampton Road, Cadnam, was originally a row of cottages - one of which was owned by the Purkiss family. One of their ancestors found the body of King William Rufus after he died during a hunting expedition in the New Forest in 1100. The body was placed on a cart and taken to Winchester Cathedral, where it was quickly buried by the monks.
