I would love Janet's 'Tuscan View' at the end of our great room.
I did find a stream, amidst greenery, and David pasted it up, a good ten years ago.
Now, nothing like that can be found anywhere, and ours is beginning to come away from the wall in bits!
It would be nice for everyone to have something like this in their living rooms more…
Reminds me of Peter Pan too.
This painting is adorable.
Just the thing for a child's room.
I love the peaceful green colours.
Very soothing. Thank you, Colin. more…
I despair at this runaway train of PC anti-racism and it's ability to totally over-react to 'implied' racism.

We are the ones to start tightening our belts and cut-back on reproducing.
We spay our animals. More of us should do the same to ourselves.
I still think it would still take a good 200 years to get everything back in balance again, on this over-populated and polluted planet. more…
"The abrupt ending of the Mayan Long Count Calendar on December 21 2012 has been described as a prophecy of the end of an age and maybe the world. There is no such prophecy in the Mayan calendar pointing to 2012 as the end of the world. This idea is merely some people's interpretation; an interpretation that many do not believe.

Let me get this straight: the Mayan civilisation was in decline from the early sixteenth century, but they were making catastrophe predictions using the Gregorian calendar which was introduced in catholic Europe in 1582 and slowly adopted thereafter - in many countries not until well after the Mayan decline was complete? Is that right? Interesting. more…
