The Pictures I Keep On The Dressing Table

Alice by the river in Durham



Michael picking cherries in his Grandma's garden in Kentucky



Joe tackling a big ice cream at the Louisville zoo. (Every time he looked away his aunt- just out of frame- leaned over and took a bite. He was mystified.)

It's quite simply my favourite name.

There's a lovely poem by William Morris that begins

Lady Alice, Lady Louise,
Between the wash of the tumbling seas,
We are ready to sing, if so ye please;
So lay your long hands to the keys;
Sing, "Laudate pueri"....

It's called The Blue Closet
