An anticipated visit by casablanca

An anticipated visit

Tuesday 3rd September had me very excited. I was taking a boat trip up the river and heading to the former Summer home of a literary heroine of mine. This is me saying hello in the cafe where we had coffee before we began our tour of the house.

My son took it, by the way! I edited it a tad but he took it.
Another interesting house visit, Greenway House, Devon? More pictures please especially of the interior! Love the way the lady is looking at the poster.

Oh, how very exciting. My best friend is a big fan of Agatha and we went to see the Mousetrap together, many years ago, in London. I used to love her books as a teenager - couldn't get enough of them - Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Not sure I'd like them today - I'm much more a fan of historical novels these days. But she was an amazing lady!

@allsop I love you for calling me a lady! There will be a collage tomorrow of the house.
September 12th, 2024  
@jamibann I was the same - read them all as a teen! Still enjoy her.

Wow! A wonderful experience. And a great portrait of two aldies!

Really cute photo of you that reflects well your happiness at what was ahead! Like the dress and your red shoes, too!

Such a fabulous shot and scene, I love how happily you are looking up towards your literary heroine. It must have been a wonderful visit for you.

@casablanca Excellent👍 I think "Lady Casablanca" sounds rather good!
September 12th, 2024  
@allsop I think I may have to adopt it!
September 12th, 2024  
I've never read an Agatha Christie in my life.

I love how you are both looking up
September 12th, 2024  
@casablanca Go for it? Think @LadyCasablanca would be excellent 😊
September 12th, 2024  
Reading the above comments I am sure that Agatha could create quite an interesting story around Lady Casablanca. I am already imagining her character full of mystery and intrigue.

@wakelys 😂
September 12th, 2024  
@allsop @wakelys Maybe I shall have to put pen to paper and write my own Christie-esque story for Lady Casablanca then! What a fun thought.
September 12th, 2024  
@casablanca oh yes please👍
September 12th, 2024  
@allsop I think that gives me my occupation for the Winter evenings. I shall let you know how I get on!

I too like how you & Aggie are both looking upwards. Lovely shot, the young fella did good.
September 12th, 2024  
What a splendid catch of the two of you. Love the idea of your new project! :)

Nice to see you happy with your fav. literary herione. I don't blame you to have her as your herione, she wrote fantastic and exciting stories. Well done to your son for this shot.

When I saw this picture pop up it made me smile. Years ago I bought a copy of Agatha Christie's book An Autobiography. I was having a bit of a cull of my books a few weeks ago (not a huge cull though) and noticed that my copy of her biography was very much worse for wear with loose pages etc. I decided to look on one of my favourite second-hand books websites World of Books Australia and saw a copy of the book in much better condition than my copy. I ordered it and this afternoon when we got home from our walk the book was in our letterbox. Can't wait to reread it.

@onewing You will smile, I just bought that very book at Greenway and it is next on my list to read!
September 12th, 2024

Your son took a good shot, definitel a fav for his efforts! I love to go back occasiobally and read the novels of authors that I first came across when I was a teenager, and I really enjoy Agatha Christie novels.

Great fun, love Agatha Christie read all her books when I was a teenager. Nice capture of you

How exciting
September 12th, 2024  
Not knowing what processing you performed, the shot is a good one of you. The lighting is great and the "pose" is perfect.
September 12th, 2024  
Hello Agatha and Casa :)
September 12th, 2024  
@randystreat just a slight straightening and crop plus a little brilliance and contrast. Nothing major. My lad did well. I set myself up and asked him to take it.

They have a lot of Agatha specials on our PBS (public television) station this fall. We love them. Nice capture of you saying hi to a heroine.
September 12th, 2024
