I don’t know what love looks like*. Are we really looking for love? His Mother: Yes we’re really looking for love.

Mother: Well, a circle has 360 degrees, but this isn’t a whole circle. It’s just part of it. There is a very long pause. The small girl puts on her best Deep Thought face and considers this information.

One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)I really like it when I get a physical reaction to a piece of art. Although maybe like isn’t the right word. I remember seeing Damien Hurst’s statue of Saint Bartholomew a couple of years ago; in his “exquisite pain” he was holding his own recently removed skin aloft. At the risk of sounding pretentious, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 9th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | Derbyshire | Wirksworth Festival 2008. Comments are closedSaturday morning saw us heading off into Derbyshire to take part in the Art and Architecture Trail at Wirksworth Festival. To say it was raining seems inadequate really. We had second thoughts, then third as we drove through torrential rain, but eventually resigned ourselves to getting soaked between venues. However, the Festival Organisers had obviously […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 29th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Derbyshire.

Obviously there are trams (I’ll get to them later), but there’s also some time travel going on. The quick jaunt back to the first age of trams begins as you enter the village.

Comments are closedfrom our Special Correspondent After all the speculation, when some people thought it was beyond hope, finally the proof is here. There is definitely at least one big cat in Derbyshire. And it is beyond Hope (at least it is from this direction). (As spotted and photographed by Mr TLC.)

Firstly I stumbled upon Sal Brown’s Excellent Adventures blog. This led to the second discovery. A very surprising discovery, because not only did I know nothing about this (and I do read the local paper, watch the local news and pick up local news feeds), but neither did my Mother, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 28th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Derbyshire. Comments are closedWe took a little stroll around Ladybower Reservoir yesterday. I’ve lived near here for years, but it was the first time I’d ever seen the famous “plug holes” in action. The “plug holes” are the entrances to two very large drainage shafts that act as overflows from the reservoir. When the reservoir is full, the […] |
