WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

First Friday Filmclub...ish

A slight variation - this is a listening thing, rather than a watcher... I couldn't resist it, having so recently shared my visit to Duff house with you! I even mentioned meeting an Aussie expat (Rosemary) who is a guide at the house, and who gets to speak to the professor during his visit. 

I listened to this on Spotify, but I know a few of you prefer not to use that platform - you fan find it on other platforms, but I share with you here a version I found on the tubular, and which has the addition of an intro that is quite charming. Dr Kevin James is Scottish Studies Foundation Chair & Professor of History at Guelph Uni in Canada. It's an entertaining thirty-five minutes, and I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did! (And I include a rose for Rosy, to acknowledge Nature Friday!)

    Beautiful rose. Data limitations preclude me watching movies unfortunately.

      Shame - but not missing out on very much, as I told the tale in my posts, but it was fun to hear the 'scholarly' approach. Yxx

    We will have to listen to the film a bit later as it's longish but we do love the white rose, which is truly a beauty!

    I will go back and view this later, YAM. With your cachet, I have no doubt it will be interesting.

    Hi Yam - white rose of York ... I should watch this ... as we had a session on Scottish History in our Medieval history group this year ... I got lost! Cheers Hilary
