Full many a glorious morning have I seen — William Shakespeare (1564-1616, Stratford-Upon-Avon)
Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy; Anon permit the basest clouds to ride With ugly rack on his celestial face, And from the forlorn world his visage hide, Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace: Even so my sun one early morn did shine, With all triumphant splendour on my brow; But out, alack, he was but one hour mine, The region cloud hath mask’d him from me now. Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth; Suns of the world may stain when heaven’s sun staineth.
Hello! I was born in London but moved to Cordova (in inland Andalusia) thirty years ago. Although I qualified as a geologist, I had to retrain, and I now teach English and work as a freelance translator. I also like art and craftwork, as well as writing. Hence the book I have just written, entitled 'An English Lady in Cordova - the Alternative Guide' which tells of my experiences (both humorous and harrowing) of living in Cordoba and later, the countryside location of Posadas. I also describe the culture, history, geography and emblematic sites of Cordova, Posadas, the neighbouring villages and local Sierra.
I hope you enjoy reading my blogs - but please be patient, I'm new at this, so am still trying to find my way around this blog lark and see how it all works. (So many mind-boggling options on the menus and multitudinous tabs and pop-up things!)
Bye for now!
