When the exquisite Carole Lombard died in a plane crash at age 33, the world definitely became a far uglier place.
Her husband Clark Gable certainly thought so. He was buried next to her, many years and several other wives later.
Some Brazilian Divas music… lovely.
For the next couple weeks we will be hosting New Wife’s son and daughter-in-law as they flee (temporarily) their South African home for springtime in Texas.
None of that matters, because they will be bringing our* precious granddaughter with them:
…so the fortnight will be spent in Grandparent Heaven, and posting may be a little light other than the regular features such as the Caption Competition, Monday Funnies, Art / Culture Saturday and Classic Beauty, which I’ve already pre-loaded.
*I say “our” because my own kids have proven to be completely useless at the Grandchild Production business, so I take them where I can.
There’s another grandchild lurking in the above pic, but we won’t be able to see that one until it’s born in August.

But back to golf:
And that’s all the news fit to summarize.
…Rosie Langley, that is.
“Who she?” you may ask.
Well, she’s a Brit singer — here’s Love, for example. But she also plays a little violin, as you can see with Jeff Lynne’s ELO, and of course with Steeleye Span, as we recently saw on these pages.
And we can look at all the Langley Sisters — including the classical side — at another time.
Dirty Pretty Strings, indeed. Quite lovely, all of them.
