D10T2 - My Woman - Lew Stone & Monseigneur Band, voc. Al Bowlly - 1932

Yes, the sample, but the song is an absolute banger on its own merits. Third appearance by Nat Gonella so far, although only one credited

Above all, Remembrance is a personal thing.

Some thoughts on why Remembrance is so important, and why attempts to police it should be resisted.
robertsaunders.bsky.social Robert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · Nov 10
One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests.

It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts.

It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw.

That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Two days of glorious weather and two days of incessant rain when we were in Gairloch last week. You can guess on which of the days I took this. However Mellon Udrigle is still beautiful in any weather.

And now this stride into our solitude,
A swallow-fall and rise of one plain line,
A giant step for ever to include
All our dear landscape in a new design.

"They stopped...to watch the sea-gulls riding on the top of the outgoing waves. Opposite...,the blue hills of Cumberland rose, distant and dim...Leaning on the...iron railing, they dreamed out a future...But it must be different--yes it must be different."

Maryport, Cumbria across the Solway Firth to Criffel, Dumfries & Galloway - today 17/04/2025
#cumbria #coastal #seascape #nature #photography #eastcoastkin
A view from England on a sunny April day across the Solway Firth to Scotland. In the foreground is a bed of flat red sandstone rock, some of it covered in seaweed. There are some patches of shingle around the rocks. The sea behind this is slightly choppy with a line of waves breaking near the land. In the distance is land in the shape of rolling hills, the highest is Criffel. The sky is blue with a line of clouds just above the hills.
