We are saddened to hear of Alice Munro’s death. In memory of her life and work, four of her stories have been unlocked from behind the paywall and are free for all to read.

@eliseybell @youngvulgarian Go! The Frick collection is on show in the old Whitney building, a Breuer masterpiece. Completely worth the trip and manageable, not overwhelming like the Met. No MOMA? Great cafe on the 5th floor or an elegant lunch overlooking the sculpture garden.

Whew. Our family has finished all 7 seasons of A FRENCH VILLAGE. We have never seen anything with more prolonged excellence in all ways: writing, directing, acting (even costumes, makeup, and sets). Begins in Occupied France, but winds up with universal story of human experience.

Armistice Day: 11am on Tuesday 11th November 1919, vast crowds in London observe the very first 2 minute silence for those killed in the Great War. The men have removed their hats out of respect for the fallen. (I originally colourised this photo for the Evening Standard in 2019)
