Jenni in London: November 2014
http://jenni-in-london.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Two weekends ago we saw the film Mr Turner. Since we had seen the film I felt we should go the Tate Britain to see the accompanying exhibition of Turner's Last Works. Bob likes Turner's work more than I like them. And Turner did so many . . . and he willed them to the nation, so they are easy to find in order to fill rooms and rooms. Jonathan Jones, art critic of The Guardian,. Jonathan Jones will be happy to know the Tate's galleries were nearly as crowded today as the walkway...

Jenni in London: September 2013

Sunday, September 15, 2013. 5 Alsace Loves Quilts Too. An Exhibition from the States was the collection from Ohio's Quilt National 2011. The wonderful French quilting magazine Quiltmania. Sponsored a collection of antique chintz quilts from the States (POOS Collection belonging to Kay Triplett). They are mostly dated from the first half of the 19th century and are in superb condition. Most appropriate to their forested valley. I could not catch the names of all the quilters who contributed to the dis...

Jenni in London: October 2013
http://jenni-in-london.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 24, 2013. A Visit to Dear Jane. The Jane Stickle Quilt, known in the world of quilting as Dear Jane. The Bennington Museum's quarterly journal Walloomsack Review. After Pam Week's article was published, Museum curator Jamie Franklin found this important article in the October 1, 1863 edition of the Bennington Banner. The quilt's colours remain vibrant . . . And the seams match perfectly! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. A Visit to Dear Jane.

Jenni in London: June 2012
http://jenni-in-london.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. When I left off it was winter, now it is summer, and much has happened in between. And all good things. Two weddings. One wedding in California where Bob was Best Man. The second wedding was here in London, and Bob and I were Father and Mother of the Bride. So the daughters are sorted then, and well sorted too. Chosen to light the Beacon will be in therapy for life. Lighting shouldn't have been more complicated than setting a match to a gas stove burner. This year we have the Ol...

Jenni in London: September 2011

Monday, September 5, 2011. 10 am Downshire Hill. Not sure how this happened. I just heard the smash and the breaking glass! The woman talking to the policeman is the driver. She opened the door and got out of the car immediately. Very little damage to her car. Police and fire on the scene, but no danger appears. They smashed open the window to check the place. Not just another day! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. An Excellent Mystery, Ellis Peters.

Saturday, June 22, 2013. Welcoming Summer the Egyptian Way. Once again we didn't make it to Stonehenge yesterday for the Solstice, but my favourite Londonist. Website Things to Do in London Today. Which sends a message into my inbox at 7 am, Monday through Saturday — Sunday is covered in Saturday's Weekend edition — offered an invitation to the Eye of Ra: A Midsummer Rite. Here is the Eye of Ra on the roof terrace of a UCL building . . . Where we could post our requests to Ra for his intervention. We arr...

Jenni in London: December 2012
http://jenni-in-london.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 4, 2012. Last week was my birthday. I have reached the marker set by the Beatles that says 64. Is old age country. I read on Wikipedia that Paul wrote the words when he was 16, but he certainly got most of it right. I guess I'm kind of glad my grandchildren aren't named Vera and Chuck; Dave would be okay. And the cottage on the Isle of Wight every summer sounds pretty alright too. 8212; by a young English woman who won the grand prize on a TV Masterchef competition and used the money to...
