Yet another long interval between posts. what excuse shall I use this time? laziness, I think, as it is the most truthful.
What has been occurring? Took Beloved Sister to London for a celebratory weekend in October and stayed at a most peculiar hotel near Hyde Park which was said to have belonged to Lily Langtry. Entrance like old baronial hall, all huge fireplaces and dark woodwork, culminating in a "theatre bar" which was built like a small theatre with a royal box! Would that this grandeur had extended to the bedrooms at the top of the building where we (and the staff) were accommodated. A liberal application of Vaseline would have been helpful in squeezing around the bed. Oh Matron, indeed.
We saw the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London - a wonderful display, very moving, National Portrait Gallery, etc and attended a performance of Jersey Boys. I can well imagine Jonathan's pained sigh and barbed comments on our provincial tastes but it was great.
Darling Daughter looked after BH for the weekend and they and the animals were happy and completely out of hand on my return. Indeed, It took some heavy duty retraining to get them back in line. In fact, they are so appealing and funny that it may be time to start their own blog....we shall see. Perhaps I shall have to learn how to video etc - wow.
Our art exhibition was again successful and I not only sold a large painting but took two commissions. Gob-smacked and very very pleased with myself.
Still no sign of Lewisland blog so don't know what, if anything, is happening on that front. Nor have I had news of Denise or jonathan's many friends so shall have to hope Beloved Sister will update me when she pays her pre-Christmas flying visit.
Have I met any exotic or strange people on my recent travels? Naturally but not exotic enough to grace this blog. Just saying....
