Too beautiful...


Thanks for the Symphonie en blanc PowerPoint presentation you sent, Michael.  There are so many good and clever people out there doing wonderful things and this collection of photos is hard to beat!  When you photograph the Norman church covered in snow, Frank, it will be equally as beautiful as all these white pics.  I hope you get some snow soon.  I just love anything Bronte or similar, set in the wilds of Yorkshire, or other such romantic places, Winifred.


Tonight I watched Coast, set in the northeast of England, Frank!  I thought I could see you and Rose walking down the street :-))  Then I watched Escape to the Country, for another dose of gorgeous English country houses.  (Practically everything I watch on TV is from UK.)


On Thursday my sister and I hopped on a ferry and went to another one of Sydney's most magnificent suburbs, Hunters Hill.  First we had lunch in a lovely cafe, then spent an hour and a half or so wandering round, admiring places like this with their magnificent gardens and river views:

It was a perfect day.  Olga, if you come down again soon, I'll take you there!

I can't believe you said the wilds of Yorkshire was such a romantic place - I was raised there and it was bleak and windswept for most of the year. My mum used to cover all our furniture with thick woolly
sheepskins at the beginning of winter to keep us warm. They were very cheap in those days as we had more sheep than people as our neighbours! I really think snow is only beautiful in pictures and not underfoot.It's sunny here today so I am happy. xxx
