I know I've noticed differences in different countries... and we all have twinges of vanity, I know I do!CatherineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831622377126799549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-21937409423024489572012-06-29T23:25:02.372+01:002012-06-29T23:25:02.372+01:00You have every right to be proud of your work with...You have every right to be proud of your work with Red. Your outfit may have been a bit muddy, but your sentences are always elegant and incredibly well turned out, Tania.<br /><br />Beautiful pics of miss pigeon.

And now I am really impatient to read your new book. <br /><br />I can no longer be considered middle-aged unless I live to be 120 (not a goal), but I recognize your twinge of vanity. I wonder if it is somehow linked to the x-chromosome, because it sure is hard to lose! Where you are is old enough to know better, but young enough to feel the little hit. Now, at the age of invisibility, I can testify to a definite freedom that is beautiful in itself. Not to say that one wants to make a business of looking like a wreck--getting dressed up and knowing you look nice is still great--but boy, do the priorities fall neatly into place. It can, actually, be angst-free. Now, if you want to talk vanity about your horse's performance, you have every reason to be proud and vain as hell about that!<br /><br />Bird<br />PS Was at a lecture last night by NY Times columnist Gail Collins (terrific commentary on US politics), and by chance overheard a woman say she was going to Aberdeen, Scotland, soon and had been told to bring rain gear. It was hard not to break into her conversation and say, "Believe it. Take every bit of rain gear you own." ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-89339808513301835212012-06-29T13:21:42.341+01:002012-06-29T13:21:42.341+01:00..a truly lovely post!..a truly lovely post!angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974280891092440220noreply@blogger.com
