If you are interested in Art, beautiful scenery, prose, classical music, history of Art just sit back an endulge.

This is Dimbelby and the BBC at their BEST a wonderful and inspiring series, loved every cotton pickin minute (santanic mills must appear somewhere).

It started in one of my favorite place and wher I want my ashes to be scattered Helyellyn, I hadn’t realised that I had quite literally trodden in the fatal footsteps of a famous artist but survived. He had fallen from the mountain inro the Red Tarn below I on the other hand left a trail of footprint in the snow over the precipise. Maybe luck maybe fate maybe unlucky for you as I’m posting here but certainly when I stood on the top and looked back at where I had walked I realsed how lucky I had been.

It went onto Lindisfarne in Nothumberland where Turner got his inspiration a truely manginficent place.

The show just oozes of wonderful scenery and illustrates how the artists revelled in it’s glory and captured it on canvas BUT not without a struggle.

I think that I will go in search of the book that accompanies the series later today and another excuse to visit the wonderful Tate Gallery in London.

This is seventh heavan.

As a taster just look at this and matvel
