They give me the feeling of flight...<br /><br />Hugs<br />Issy (who's still looking for that ceiling picture to show you, lol)Woman Seeking Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940928888290866843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-25647259727278453242012-07-31T09:26:34.801-07:002012-07-31T09:26:34.801-07:00Beautiful hike!

Great news - Sony has picked up the rights to her Outlander books and Ron Moore, who created the series Battlestar Galactica, is adapting the books. Since Sony is shopping the series around, the genre (cable, miniseries, HBO, etc.) hasn't been decided but stay tuned!Dragonfly Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072079154293303454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-53855964753833659362012-07-29T14:42:32.136-07:002012-07-29T14:42:32.136-07:00Thank you ( and your daughter) for a virtual walk ...Thank you ( and your daughter) for a virtual walk up Pen y Fan. My OH loved the photos too and enjoyed reliving this walk, which he did on the day that you, our friend J and I met up in Brecon while the menfolk went up the mountain. Happy memories!<br /><br />I have not read Diane Gabaldon but have just started reading an old Daphne de Maurier, The House on the Strand. I had forgotten how good her descriptive writing is and how she can transport her reader through "time slips" in a quite uncanny way.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-46118874635165060862012-07-29T13:31:08.620-07:002012-07-29T13:31:08.620-07:00Not sure I'd have been good for the climb even...Not sure I'd have been good for the climb even in my 'better' days--I was never much of an up-hill person although I could--and did--walk for miles.<br />Diana Gabaldon is great for holding the attention--although I wish sometimes the episodes didn't sound a bit like the perils of Pauline--then I remind myself we're starting from a premise of time travel here! Her vocabulary and attention to historical detail surely raise these works above ordinary fiction. I always took Outlander with me to read on plane journeys! 'Echo in the Bone' which comes after "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" wasn't as good as some of the earlier books--so says I.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-38070922663167046912012-07-29T09:35:20.632-07:002012-07-29T09:35:20.632-07:00spectacular photos--hope you can make the climb ag...spectacular photos--hope you can make the climb again yourself--I, too, have had to curtail some climbing because of health issues--it's mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701940616523413217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-5761525237521303692012-07-29T01:57:27.041-07:002012-07-29T01:57:27.041-07:00What a fabulous place.
