Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
if I ever chose to return to UK, which is highly unlikely save a large lottery win, I would chose rural 'backwaters' where old empire still exists. The Scottish Isles, Devon, Cornwall, remote Yorkshire dales, Isle of Wight etc etc. Stick to the outer not the inner and all peace will remain. I was born in a city and have lived in various cities around the world - they are not real living - they are concrete jungles were crime is common. RIP

I am not very hands on musical, prefer to listen. In a former life in Rome 450.BC my station was in the Emperor Valentinian 3rd courtyard & I had to play an arrival greeting on the Flugelhorn, called in those days Cornu or Buccina .
The drums were made partly from animal hide which I began to find an irritant, thanks to the minute particles of skin released into the air.
I had all my own teeth then & was known as Vivian, or just Smiler. I fell off a cliff edge practising the Luna Perambulate.
I re emerged in the Victorian period as the English equivalent of Baron Munchhausen, known as uncle Vivian in our family, what yarns he could tell, what a guy.
