Cotton wool for a flautist (Rousse)
I had never seen a dining table so beautifully laid out. Two tables had been brought together in a T shape to accommodate about fifteen people in the oak panelled dining room. The table cloth was starched brilliant white to … Continue reading
New York Times publishes coded message to run Trump out of town (Rousse)
How could this be a holiday if I were sleeping at the lecturer’s desk in front of a class of thirty, all of whom were also extremely angry that the week of sunshine, sea and sand that they had been … Continue reading

A wasted wedding day in Edinburgh (Rousse)
This had to be the most boring and short-lived wedding celebration of all time. Although some of my most interesting school friends were amongst the guests (including JB and GB, now a married couple themselves), TPR and I were sitting … Continue reading

Party food from LIDL and footwear for the poor (Rousse)

George Clooney and a Sisters of Mercy lookalike above the snow line (Rousse)

A thick-ankled waitress (Rousse)
I admired ET as she served everyone in the dining room single-handed. This was a feat in itself, but she did it with so much grace, without a hint that she would consider this demeaning work for someone of her … Continue reading
Bid to honour Hartburn home (Rousse)
