MAGIC in NewYork!
My tribute to Miss Emma Raducanu.

Did I tell you that I visited the grave of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in Birchington?
I told him that although we were born over a century apart....I would love to have been a contemporary.
It was a special day for me.

[Leighton Charles @TheArtistTalks]

Well yes....
Emma Raducanu portrait on here 2 weeks!
Poetry Book launch in 2 weeks!
And....working though sevral melodies on the piano.
You know....I am busy but in a creative heaven.
Good Luck to all of you!

Christina Rossetti
HE and SHE

Should one of us remember
And one of us forget
I wish I knew what each will do
But who can tell as yet?

Should one of us remember
And one of us forget
I promise you what I will do
And I'm content to wait for you
And not be sure as yet

[Leighton Charles @TheArtistTalks]

I am stretched in all three areas...It's the 3P's!!!!!
Which are painting, poetry and the piano!
My tribute painting to Emma Raducanu is being revisited.
Watch this space!
In the meantime......

@EDonoghueWriter @picadorbooks @HarperCollinsCa @littlebrown I'm not a diarist on the scale of Anne Lister but I have made a note in my lesser diary of August 2023.

Portrait of Mariana Belcombe (Lawton)
My thanks to the Lawton family that loaned the portrait to The Bankfield Museum in Halifax.
Brings the story to life after 200 years!
Loved being so close to Magic!

Happy New Year to everyone! 2021 was magical for me for two reasons:
1. Emma Raducanu
2. I learned to play the Pianoforte! Yes I really did!

Congratulations!
