Dylan Thomas, Wisteria and A Car

14 May

It’s International Dylan Thomas Day and Daughter no 2 thoughtfully sent me this video, knowing how I love the works of Dylan Thomas. I also love Michael Sheen’s work so it couldn’t be better. What a delivery!

We had another lovely outdoor breakfast with friends this morning  with warm sunshine and a beautiful view –  such a tonic – and on the way back to our cars saw this fabulous Wisteria.

We stopped briefly In Truro to do some more book shopping and were amused by this parked car.

Cinema Space, Knitting and Birthday Poem

12 Dec

1   I loved this short film, Cinema Space Tribute, which is on Alex’s blog . This is a  journey through 46 years of space travel in film from 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick, to 2014’s Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan and all to a soundtrack of “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas, my all-time favourite poet. Thank you so much Alex. Here is the link to the film http://vimeo.com/113142476

2    I am making a tiny pair of fingerless mittens for Grand-baby B. They are quite tricky, being so small, but I should finish them this weekend.

Nearly done

3   It is my lovely Sister-in-law’s birthday today and I give her this beautiful little poem from Robert Browning who died on this day in 1889.

Love

So, the year’s done with!
(Love me forever!)
All March begun with,
April’s endeavour;
May-wreaths that bound me
June needs must sever;
Now snow falls round me,
Quenching June’s fever –
(Love me for ever!)
