The photograph on the cover of the Eland edition of Voices of the Old Sea is arresting.

Malice in Wonderland

An arresting picture; it features in an exhibition at the V&A, Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser, about Lewis Carroll’s 1865 book.

Bright Young Things

I’m not an expert on anything; sometimes I know a bit or can express myself lucidly. I deployed this as an oil futures broker. Yesterday a friend asked me how she should address formally (on the envelope) the divorced wife of a younger son of a marquess who has subsequently remarried.

Ninette

A friend went to an exhibition of photographs taken by Joan Leigh Fermor at the Benaki Museum in Athens. It looks like a little gem and I hope it may follow in the footsteps of Charmed Lives in Greece to the British Museum.

Come-to-Good

In a recent post, More Jottings, I mentioned joining the National Churches Trust. It turns out to be rather a bargain. The minimum subscription is £30 and when you join you receive this 192 page hardback coffee table filler that sells for £20.
