I enjoy your walking tours.<br /><br />Rachmaninov's 2nd always brings to mind Lean's "Brief Encounter", which is one of my all time favorite films. I have a Criterion Collection copy and watch it at least once a month.

I agree...Indeed another beautiful walk with you. <br /><br />I agree, films do not have the same allure of decades past. I think box office success today really is related to how much money was brought in over the weekend, as opposed to how well the actors were portrayed in their roles.ToBlog todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215485087602615189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226701297922451272.post-17750478606707549872009-10-04T17:32:45.331+01:002009-10-04T17:32:45.331+01:00Lovely post, I enjoyed the walk.

It's just a very moving thought, that so many years after he was laid to rest, people who never knew a thing about him, were just thinking of him through your video. <br /><br />Was that the roof of your cottage?
