Its quite amazing the amount of time one can fritter away with going from one link to another .........Some times starting with clicking on a link in a google blog alert or through emails which ~I get from the
Baren's mailing list. Since I had to get a new ISP and
use my domain email, I have been getting far less email and yet it still doesn't prevent me from surfing all over the net!!
But I suppose it's all just a mixture of being inspired, informed and discovering new artists and other things.
Speaking of being inspired I found this little image on
Swinkies blog which I find exquisite. What a great name "Swinkie"!! I enjoy her blog too.
Her actual name is Sandra Winkworth and she is based in Sydney Australia ( for those of you who were not aware !!) She spent some time in the Czech Republic ( this is where her family came from originally) earlier this year at a place called Klenova. It was fun to read of her time there. Somehow it reminded me of the time I spent traveling in Poland with my friend Linda H, who still lives down in London.
Just found this
letter to the Guardian newspaper from Linda ( good on yah girl !!) Our travels in Poland over a period of about four weeks took us to Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw ( pronounced rotswav ) where we stayed with Linda's old friend Helena for about a week, Later we travelled around the Polish countryside and I can't remember the names of most of the places that we went to other than that we went sailing and camping on the Mazurian (sp ??) lakes, with a chap called Marek and his chums from the University in Wroclaw where Helena worked as a teacher ( some of them may have been students of hers).
