Two trips in January 2014. The first was awful; the second, delightful. A stumble while carrying two heavy bags of groceries resulted in a fall flat on my face, and a massive haematoma. See black eye above and click on thumbnail for full picture gallery and a description of the incident. But the trip to South Africa, which was actually the first holiday I had taken in more than four years, and was occasioned by an invitation to the 70th 8irthday party of dear friend Lynn McGregor, was a memorable experience An unanticipated bonus during the visit to South Africa was a reunion with the wonderful doctor who had ministered to me following my mini-stroke in Bedfordshire some years ago. Dr Helena Verwey subsequently returned to her native South Africa, and the details of our reunion are also given in the South Africa link. On the cultural front, shortly after my return from South Africa, another enjoyable theatrical experience at the Bromley Little Theatre. This time a very well-acted and produced The Thrill of Love, Amanda Whittington's play about Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be handed in England. A week later, to the Tate Modern with daughter Caroline for the Paul Klee exhibition. Vastly impressive. Although I've always enjoyed Klee's work, I had not appreciated quite how varied was his style over the years, nor how greatly it was influenced by the shocking political and social climate in which he worked in 1930s Germany.
