Once again I was tempted. This time to two CD's (see below)
Sometime ago I had purchased a CD by the violinist Nicola Benedetti [Italia] and was very impressed by her performance. Some years ago, when we were heading for the Isle of Arran, we called off at one of the daughters of one of the Cottingley Church members. She lives in West Kilbride, which is only a few miles up the coast from Ardrossan, where we catch the ferry to Brodick. I discovered that Nicola Benedetti was born in West Kilbride, and her family still live there.
Anne-Sophie Mutter is another female violinist who plays a mean fiddle! and as there was also a DVD included in this package I was again tempted to make the purchase. Some years ago she was married to Andre Previn (who can forget his appearance on the Morecambe & Wise Show?) and one of the pieces she plays was written for her by him.
My attention was also attracted to some large format books, going at £1.00 each.
The result was I purchased.....
as well as the AA Illustrated Guide to Britain - a comprehensive book with lots of information about Britain, and selected routes to tour.
The page illustrated here is "Border Farmland South of the Tweed". This is an area very familiar to us as we often spend our holidays in this part of Northumberland.
We then went on to The Gamecock at Austwick, where he had a delicious dinner. I happened to visit the Gents whilst we were there, and noticed at the back of the toilet door a sign which read "NO EXIT" - mine host Eric obviously has a sense of humour!
I also noticed these two as well...........
