We hope that all is still going well for you and are surprised at how fast the course is progressing.<br /><br />We suspect that our film top tens might have a large degree of overlap. We could not agree more about Dirk Bogarde, his presence was impressively haunting in 'Death in Venice'. An iconic performance indeed.<br /><br />We loved your story of the tall man sweeping you off your feet in Austria. What fun that all sounds to have been.<br /><br />We are rather sad too that you are coming up to the present day, but hope that, perhaps, we may meet in the real world at some point in the future in order that we can share so much more.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-78467444485980610222011-10-29T23:55:26.882+01:002011-10-29T23:55:26.882+01:00What a lovely way to spend an evening, how I do lo...What a lovely way to spend an evening, how I do love films myself, and Death in Venice is one of my own top 10, I don't think Dirk Bogarde did anything finer than this wonderful film. So atmospheric and just watching it I am transported to Venezia. I think a sheet draped to create a screen is perfect.<br /><br />I admire minimalism but could never be accused of being one. I love my collections of items from my travels, displayed willy-nilly around my garret, easily at hand to admire and reminisce. Although I do not own one single item of furniture can you believe it. A true Gypsy!<br /><br />I have been to Corinthia in Austria where I attended the christening of my godson in 1999. I have very good memories of the hospitable folk there. Being talked into doing a polka-type dance with a man 3 times my height, was one of the highlights. I can say my feet did not touch the ground...literally!<br /><br />I have enjoyed reading your older posts immensely, but I feel a bit sad I am almost up to date now.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477812986531102750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-25525567644744232022011-10-12T15:10:32.517+01:002011-10-12T15:10:32.517+01:00Raybeard:

Hence, this extremely belated reply!!<br /><br />We are so pleased that you have such fond memories of Vienna and agree completely that the architecture is stunning. And, what a holy trinity of composers you cite as your favourites. A pity that Mozart is not amongst them since one cannot move a pace throughout the whole of Austria without knowing that he is the favoured son!<br /><br />We are thrilled to note that Death in Venice is amongst your top films. We find it fascinating no matter how many times we watch it, indeed, there always seems to be something new with each viewing. Yes, a delicious white wine and Death in Venice, a marriage made in heaven, surely!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-73025984470678262592011-10-03T15:29:15.549+01:002011-10-03T15:29:15.549+01:00Ann:

I'm glad that you enjoyed the back and white images.<br /><br />Secondly thankyou for the comments on the Hydrangeas, it's lovely to have something that doesn't need renewing every week.

And so, to date, we have had to decline several kindnesses that others have been gracious to bestow upon us. Sadly, therefore, we must decline your offer of the award. We are delighted that you enjoy what we write and we too very much enjoy our visits to 'The View from Here' which we shall hurry over to right now.
