Sancerre, my home away from my home away from home.

Filed under: the art gallery — tavernau @ 8:46 am

As I have mentioned before I visit France regularly. When I do, my destination is usually Sancerre.

My best friend, who as since passed away, moved there from Australia when we were both teenagers and became a winemaker.

I still visit his family there and always have a good time.

This is my favourite photograph of Sancerre, It makes a good wallpaper for my computer to remind me of the good times.

 

The ten million piece jigsaw

Imagine this to be a ten million piece jigsaw, the work of a lifetime. You get to the end and find that one piece is missing.You would want to count all the pieces before starting just to avoid that eventuality.

On a further practical note this lawn must be a nightmare to mow.

Photo taken at the caff at Eastham Ferry on Easter Sunday.

Good vs. Evil

Filed under: the art gallery — tavernau @ 8:03 am

Another one from my recent holiday.

I’m not a religious man by any means, but I’ve never been one to let a visit to an old chapel, church or cathedral pass me by.

Today’s entry is from the small chapel on St. Michael’s Mount. It’s a relatively new sculpture, but still a timeless and powerful image. St. Michael himself defeating Lucifer.

It would be rude of me not to credit the sculptress, Lyn Maxwell.

Historic number though not logical sitting as it does next to seventy six. Question raiser. Shiny brass on a black satin background.

Is it true that all they serve at the Tate Cafe at the Albert Dock is potatoes or have I been living in Lincolnshire too long?

Wonderful view of part of Liverpool from the Maritime Museum. It’s a great blend of the historic and the modern.
