A GRIEF OBSERVED

2019-06-24T12:14:36+00:00

Last night, having watched the episode of Sir Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation, which was the subject of my previous post, I also watched the BBC adaptation of Shadowlands, starring Joss Ackland and Clare Bloom, as C. S. Lewis and Joy Gresham respectively. This version is so much the superior of the later Hollywood version, starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger, that the two do not even warrant serious comparison.

Much water has passed down the Ladydale creek since last time I wrote. Many things have happened and some things that were meant to have happened failed to happen. With respect to the latter, I was meant to be in Croatia last week.
