Ariel, yes you did confirm. Have fun with family. I am slacking, not slinking. It's cos I've not had much time for blogreading. Tell you what, it's like trawling through a silver sea to find the golden wellie when I'm scrolling to find where I'm up to on your blog.

| I'm looking forward to that dream-like state on our next Keswick visit.
Enjoyed the history lesson. I like the metaphor of weaving threads that bind you to a place. Very true.
'Maybe it never opens'.. ho ho... what was he going to do with his flock in that eventuality?
The lemon-tree lunch sounds divine.
Delightful exchange with the driver. The Brit wit never leaves you, no matter how romanced you become. Good stuff. |

I am definately interested in the full account of the tragedy of La Susan.Ariel you are really a master story teller. The way you succeed to inter weave things present and past is wonderful. However, could you tell me the year when the first cast iron bridge was constructed in England?

Ariel,
Oh heck, no problem, we'll just call up the spirits and let them tell the true story, hehe. It would be very interesting to do the research and publish a book. Hey, have a great meal with Lady Ariel. Shadow

Thank you for your comment. Ah! If only we could go and find Cayetana's lodge, and arouse her spirit, and that of Paco Goya! What we might then learn of love and passion ; of betrayal and death at the hand of a rival!
What emotions might one feel, standing on the field of La Tablada! But I fear that one can only write of such things now, for the reality is no doubt long since buried under concrete.
Spain has an uncanny knack of awakening the poet and the dramatist in those who open their ears to her voice; those who attune themselves to her bloody and turbulent history.
I shall split my article "La Susana" into manageable parts and post it soon.

Ariel,
One seasoned Archaeologist for hire to find Hunting Lodge. Your description makes me want to move to Spain. At least for a couple of years. The British aren't alone. Most Americans could care squat about our history. I'd like to here more about the "Susan" story myself.
