Comment on Review: In the Company of the Courtesan – Sarah Dunant by plaintain1

Hi,
Just revisting your site. Interestingly enough I visited Languedoc some years to attend a crime writing course hosted by Sarah Dunant. I found the area, the environment really interesting, and the house I stayed in (owned by an English lady whose grand French Aunt passed it on to her) totally cool – French architecture at its best. I hope to visit there again.

Welcome back, Plaintain!
We loved the Languedoc as well and I would certainly like to go back to explore the places beyond reach of our base in 2007, plus explore the Rousillon region and into the Pyrenees. I wrote several posts about our 2007 experiences. I also reviewed an excellent book on the food and history of the region which review now appears on my other site, ‘Meanderings through my cookbook’. Here are the links which I hope you will find helpful…

I have recently heard that Sarah Dunant has written another book, ‘Sacred Hearts’, which has a more historical setting like previous works the ‘Birth of Venus’ and ‘Company of the Courtesan’, both of which I enjoyed. I eagerly look forward to tracking a copy down and reading it in the not too distant future!

Greetings from Walthamstow, again!

Comment on The Eagle – Alfred, Lord Tennyson by nemat

reading this poem makes me to feel like eagle
to feel being free and powerful to fly , to be on
the top of the wold ,to be higher than other people
and in one sentece to feel proud
—–
I am glad you also enjoyed this poem Nemat. The words give us such a good clear description of the Eagle. The poem also reminds me of one of my favourite Bible passages from the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament:

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

(Isaiah 40 verses 28-31 – New International Version)

Comment on Warning: When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple – Jenny Joseph by Sandi Brockway

Sandi Brockway — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:11:21 +0000

One place says Jenny Joseph was born in 1931, another 1932. She wrote her famous WARNING in 1961
—–
Hello Sandi
I have done some checking and there seem to be more references to 1932 as a birth date than 1931. As you have said, 1961 is the date that is always given for WARNING. I have updated my site accordingly. Thanks for getting in touch.
