A great place to enjoy the sunset from (updated)
Sedona is extraordinary. We arrived mid-afternoon, driving up from Phoenix, and saw the light play with form and volume and colour, with the road some way below us and the rocks, that hopeless, inadequate word, above. Down to our left, … Continue reading

Tengo famiglia
Three short updates on Italy. (Spot the link.) Salvatore Ferranti, jailed for presumed association with the Mafia, has been granted house arrest because he’s just too fat for his cell. The bed won’t take his weight, the door’s too narrow … Continue reading

Slot machine
Is this really that famous – indeed, iconic – portrait by Margaret Cameron of Virginia Woolf? (Click on the photo for a closer look.) If it is, and I’m pretty sure it is, what on earth is she doing on … Continue reading

More holiday snaps
As welcome relief from the excitement of publication, let’s get back to our US trip. Here’s where we stayed in Williams, Arizona. It’s the oldest motel in Williams, dating back to 1936, and possibly the cheapest. We paid $32 plus … Continue reading

P Day
Well, P Day came and went without fanfare. (P, in case you haven’t guessed, stands for publication. And if you don’t know of what you simply haven’t been following.) I had a heartening text from Jutta, who was just out … Continue reading
