Just finished 1945 THE RECKONING by Phil Craig. A look across the world as the 2nd world war was drawing to a close. Fascinating reading with insight into a year of enormous upheaval and change.
Over twenty ‘Bird of Paradise’ seeds planted and only one germinated. Let’s see if this little gem progresses.
Totally agree with George Clarke in today’s i Weekend. I was born and raised in a council house and loved it. Parents taught us working class pride and our local community looked out for us as kids. Truly had an idyllic childhood. So very lucky and eternally grateful.
Hidden gem. The beauty of thoroughly walking a city are the places you stumble upon between the major attractions. Here’s a great example - Friedrichswerdersche Church in Berlin. A building beautifully restored and then filled with superb works of art.
A riverside dance class in Berlin last week. Don’t try looking for us - just watching this one.
Overlooked by a lovely outdoor bar selling slices of pizza.
The primary memorial commemorating the Nazi book burnings on May 10, 1933, is the Sunken Library (also known as The Empty Library), located at Bebelplatz in central Berlin.
