We struggle through life constantly trying to find each other with plaintive cries of Marco and Polo. We convene for pots of tea and discussions about everything and nothing. Somehow goats found their way into our repartee. There promises to be no logic to our content, just bits and pieces that we find on our travels.

Lust for an Era Gone

Recently I've been ill, and thus have spent much too much time lying in bed doing not a whole lot more than sleeping in, drinking tea and watching too many DVDs. Among that in which I have indulged has been the luscious 1981 series of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. A delicious romp through interwar England draped in thinly veiled homoeroticism.

Lord Sebastian Flyte and Charles Ryder, Young Love, Ain't it Sweet?

Too much time soaked in such a world has left me imagining the coming springtime tinged with a hint of a bygone era.
