Piggy provocateur

My lovely friend Christopher collected pigs of all kinds. When his husband asked if I’d like one to remember him by I choose this little chap.

I used to annoy Christopher, by arranging his other pigs as if they were listening to him. I said that he was a political agitator, inciting them to sedition. Christopher would get quite cross, and tell me that he was reading them a bedtime story.


Given there’s a little picture of a desert island, I think he must be reading ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’, and Christopher knew his pigs best of course.

Love you so much Christopher šŸ–❤️šŸ–

Where to go...

It's strange...if you'd asked me a few months ago where I'd like to travel I'd have murmured a few things about various places in Europe. However, because my wanderings are primarily about catching up with people I love, it's turned into a far more of an odyssey (or Royal Progress).

Abbaye Sainte-Marie-de-la-Pierre-qui-Vire

  Deep in the woods… …you can find a magnificent… …Benedictine Abbey, which you may have heard of, as they make very good cheese. Although the place dates from the last century, there is an atmosphere of deep calm and tranquility. Deeper into the woods… …there is a hidden delight… …a little glade… …with a statue of the Virgin Mary. It is an extraordinary place.

Return to Ronda

  The last few months have been a bit rough on the health front, so it’s been a delight to be on my travels again. First stop was glorious Ronda, staying in a hotel with it’s own cinema. A fantastic pizza was had… ….Christmas lights were admired… …a sunset revelled in… …but Ronda is all about the gorge (and bullfighting, Hemlingway and Orson Welles)… …and the amazing bridges. And a very poetic carpark.
