Erudite advice, Victoria2. As I mentioned on "that other thread" where sweeping statements abound🙄, we are sailing on Queen Anne next May, and are very much looking forward to our adventure. We most certainly wouldn't pass judgement until we have the experience behind us. We're also looking forward to comparing her with our Queen Elizabeth experience, which was immensely enjoyable.
Loving your descriptive writing…feels like we are there. Mille grazie, as they say in Italia.🙏🏻
PS: Mario loves escargot, and we both love mushrooms, but mushrooms are not flavour of the month in Australia recently🫢
Lyle, tell Lyn my mother also served in the Air Force (WAAF) during WWII, while first husband was posted first to Syria, then to New Guinea. He died in courageous circumstances at Sanananda, at the end of the Kokoda Trail. They were married only six months when she received news of his death. She said the friendship and comraderie she found in the Air Force carried her through those dark days. Lest we forget.
Oh yes, I was referring to the fact that so many have tried to decipher its messages. “Miss American Pie”, it’s agreed, is Marilyn Munro (or Norma Jean). I live that piece, but it tends to become an earworm.
Jonny O’Keefe, Lyle. Huge rock singer from late 50s, early 60s. Had his own rock tv show back in the day. Troubled soul, as is his brilliant, but also troubled nephew, Andrew. Andrew’s father and JOK’s brother, Barry, was an esteemed Senior Counsel and Judge. He was dubbed “The Mild One”.
