About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 46 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away; we also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
OOh that's uncanny!
ReplyDeleteI hope you tell that to Tess!
DeleteBe still my beating heart! Robert Cornelius - wouldn't he have made a fabulous Heathcliff? There's another photo of him taken in later years where he's not nearly so dashing. You, on the other hand Mr Magnon, appear to grow better with each passing year!
ReplyDeleteSame as Kath - you're the spitting living image.
ReplyDeleteUnreal - I'm already on the trail of Robert Cornelius as I love early photography!
