Gothic Pilgrimage, visiting the great French cathedrals. 160; Grandeur of composition, nobility of silhouette, perfection of proportion, wealth of detail, infinitely. January 24, 2012. Bless you, Dr. Johnson. Jog'ger: One who moves heavily and dully. -Dr. Johnson's English Dictionary. While many ironists today would not argue with his definition of a jogger, anybody found running in Johnson's day would have been thought mad or bad or both. The meaning Johnson intended wa...

November 27, 2012. The ABC’s of Christmas music. 8220;Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.”. Goodness gracious, is it that time already? Never too early to jump back into the shark-infested waters, as my mother always said (may not be true). Soon it will be Christmas. Thank heavens for the BostonGlobe. Talk about news you can use! What should we listen to? Oh, wait. This is in a newspaper. Well, I guess you have to write to your audience. 8220;Historically, Christmas. 8220;But this tro...

June 25, 2013. I persuaded Clive to take me on a camel trek. Apart from our guide, there was no one else. We slept under the stars. I wanted to experience the emptiness of the desert and hear what it sounded like. It is a sort of hanging stillness unlike any I had ever felt. We walked along the crests of the magnificent dunes and looked out over the endless landscapes. I felt as if we had traveled beyond our world. 8221; was every general’s order at the beginning of every siege. From the Britis...Arabs, ...

May 22, 2011. How now brave world? Have you ever had times during which your heart is so full you can barely speak? Much less answer emails, phone calls, blog posts, and all the other ways in which we snails are drawn from our shells. So I find myself this week. Brimming. I now feel the need to be very, very quiet, just to keep myself from spilling over. Now it is time for another move into a larger world. Out of these shells, into others, a bit roomier, or cozier. Labels: thank you xoxo. May 3, 2011.

June 12, 2012. The Big Lasagna Tour. I just woke up and decided to post. The truth is we haven't stopped moving and yesterday we were up at the crack of dawn to make the first tour of invitations. Mona has not been here in ages and it is my first visit ergo; we are taking in all. That is offered. I say that I do not want to look like a tourist anywhere, and Mona keeps saying; but we are tourists! The Obelisk in front of the Pantheon! Liar, I thought, kneeling with the others,. Gold, like butter and eggs.

August 21, 2013. The ides of August for those red feathered bullets of nature. The day when the great moorlands of Scotland resonate with the squelch of the landed gentry, moneyed bankers and the. Me, me too'. Each anxious to pay as much as £10,000 per day to bag that most treasured of trophies, the Red Grouse. Note the expression on Kate's face. That is my. Normal reaction to an invite to "That Glorious 12th". I do hope the sun tips her hat to your end-of-summer plans. xoxo. View my complete profile.
