5 km lockdown, in Crumlin
took my mind back to an old Czech city, Telč
unlike Crumlin, it’s a dreamscape
a baroque layer cake
and Český Krumlov, a couple of hours away
where there is a garret full of old marionettes
like the forgotten attic of a master puppet maker
they swing from the rafters
marionettes – not quite of this world but with a quality that is very human
uncanny
two hundred of them hang from the beams of St Jobst Church
in old Český Krumlov, deepest Bohemia
Coastal life 
Telc is an amazing place. I had the chance to visit the former Czechoslovakia before the fall of Communism back in the mid-“80s: what a trip!
