I have a Dream! In my dream, I am back in Paris, walking (again) down the Champs–Élysées or the rue Saint-Honoré or through the Jardin des Tuileries and I’ll hear THIS song. Played really loud by a REAL guitar player with a FULL orchestra. A bit like this……? P.S. I might get the vapours and […]

Also a loner!!)) a SINGLE person who can cope with his and my genetic (Highland) tendency to move from harsh/malicious/VICIOUS to hysterical laughter and profound, uncontrollable sillyness in a single heartbeat.

I have a photo somewhere of a bottle of Bollinger resting in a bidet full of cold water and ice cubes. The staff at the Ritz in Paris got a little suspicious of me and her when we kept calling room service and asking for MORE ice! Well. When you buy bolly in a Tabac, […]

Which – in my world – means reading something completely different. I’ve not picked up the biography of Malory (in the picture above) for years. But, for some strange reason, I felt like dipping into it today. Y’all know what Friday is, yes? POETS DAY Confession. I struggle with Le Morte d’Arthur almost as much […]
