shewhomust | Where was I, again?

This is one of those posts about posts still to be written, posted entirely for my own benefit, to remind me how far I have got in the many unfinished sequences of holiday posts. I don't expect anyone else to find it very interesting, and I could lock it for my eyes only; but I'll leave it open. Read it or not, as you please...

Last time I did this, there were three trip reports still in process: our explorarion of the river Meuse in 2008, our trip to Iceland in 2009 and our short break in Brittany in 2009. And that's still the case: there are posts to be written for all three, and photos of Iceland to be sorted and posted to Flickr.

In the year (all but a week) since I wrote that post, we've been away three times: to Fair Isle in the spring, to the Villa Saraceno in August and to Pusiano for Christmas. Only the last of these is complete - there are posts to write and photos to sort for the other two.

And since I'm using this post to remind myself of photos I haven't looked through, there are still photos from Lindisfarne last midsummer to be sorted, plus a handful from one afternoon at Belsay.

Naming a thing gives you a magical power over it; and the exercise of naming the unfinished work has given me the magical power to tidy away one of those loose ends. And to prove it, here's a bonus photo from Belsay, Mariele Neudecker's sculpture, From Here to There is Not Far, an oversized window erected in the Quarry Gardens (I mentioned at the time of our visit how much I'd liked it).

Excelsior!
