Absolutely loved this post, Eileen! Happy Substack anniversary (we're only a week apart in that respect!).
I live a 25-minute drive from the UoS campus, believe it or not! And I noticed that the church in which you had renewed your wedding vows was built of the same Sussex flint as so many around here. Wonderful.
Great link to the art of Sitzpinkeln - when I was an au pair in Germany I was surprised that the young boy in the family sat down to pee. I asked him if he had ever 'stehpinkelt' - and he told me I was crazy! 🤣
