It’s the first Tuesday of the month and many bloggers, from all over the world, chat about a certain topic… this month, the thought is ‘Camelot‘…
Camelot… the Court of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table… a place, a time of idyllic happiness…
Camelot… and I immediately start humming the song… remembering many of the lines… the splendid voices of Richard Harris and Richard Burton who made the romantic world of King Arthur so real…
Camelot… Vanessa Redgrave playing Guinevere in the 1967 film… her own short romance with Franco Nero ignited on set… only to be rekindled thirty years later… I remember this film… the magic, the music… it was a childhood favourite…
Camelot… The Kennedy White House years… “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot…”
We all have our own idea of Camelot… today, for me…
Camelot is waking up in Provence… seeing the wisteria in full bloom hanging in abundance on the terrace… voluptuous, glorious… heady with scent…
Camelot is the iris… standing to attention…
Camelot is the white lilac in bloom… and the wild poppies of May…
Camelot is the rose… fit to burst and full of promise…
Camelot is the lavender.. full and fluffy… preparing to scent our summer and sooth our sleep…
Camelot is birdsong… the hope of a nightingale’s lullaby…
Camelot is an idyllic place… it is home… where the heart lies… where the spirit re-charges and where we can simply be… xv
