The girl with the violin
I saw this card after reading Ian McEwan, On Chesil Beach and was reminded of the final page;
“When he thought of her, it rather amazed him, that he had let that girl with her violin go.
Now, of course, he saw that her self-effacing proposal was quite irrelevant.
All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them.
Love and patience- if only he had had them both at once- would surely have seen them both through.”
Happy Birthday Louise Brooks

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
