There Is a Light that Never goes Out

'Mendips'

It’s become something of a tradition for the National Trust to mark John’s birthday by leaving his bedroom light on after the last visitors have left for the day.

Seeing an old grainy photo I took of the house resurface on social media today inspired me to drive over to 'Mendips' tonight to capture some fresh shots.

I wasn’t expecting to find a group of fans there, but I did. Sometimes you think you’re the only one with the idea.

Happy 85th Birthday, John.
