		<description><![CDATA[In a nutshell, if you are a big fan of Grace Kelly, and are able to bring an extensive knowledge of her life, both pre and post-Hollywood, then this one’s for you.  Sadly however, I was not in this target audience, so ended up feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
In part, this is because I went along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
To me, this clip is both unbelievably uplifting, and yet somehow tragic as well. First there is the obvious top note, where the sublime Joshua Bell meets the transcendental Bach.  But running underneath, there&#8217;s also the relentless rhythm of rush-hours the world over, in which everyone is too fraught and harassed to spot beauty, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Cyril Dewitt&#8217;s first novel is anything to go by, it&#8217;s safe to say the rumours of Grace Kelly&#8217;s death are greatly exaggerated&#8230;
As the journal of our narrator, part-time serial killer and self-confessed braggart, Clément Justeclaimant (what were his parents thinking?!) unfolds, we learn that he’s a top-drawer Paris perfumer by day, and recreational serial [...]]]></description>

Apologies to all those who have been asking for an update on my cello-out-the-window project.  The event itself took place a couple of weeks ago and since then life has rather got in the way of blogging.  I had been waiting until I had a complete video montage to show you of the [...]]]></description>

This book had the endorsement of two trusted sources before I even opened the cover.  The first was my friend Laurel, who is an outstanding cook, and who sent me this for my birthday.  
The second reason to be hopeful was [...]]]></description>

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I&#8217;ve just this minute finished this extraordinary novel, so will need more time to properly gather my thoughts. Although I would recommend it without reservation, I&#8217;m not sure I can really say I enjoyed it, so much as admired it enormously.  
For the first [...]]]></description>

Late to the party as usual, I have only just seen Kseniya Simonov&#8217;s astonishing sand animation depicting the German Invasion of the Ukraine. It&#8217;s utterly staggering to see what she achieves just by manipulating sand, and the way she does it is like a virtuoso musical performance.  It amazes me that this was an entry [...]]]></description>
