I came across this quote from Maya Angelou a couple of years ago -
it affected me deeply, and I have never forgotten it.
Dr Angelou passed away on May 28, and will be sadly missed.
Poet, author, activist, singer, dancer, actor...
and incredibly insightful.
As a beautiful young woman, she appeared in Porgy and Bess...
Amy, of Love made my home, has written a wonderful post in tribute.
She shares five of Maya Angelou's best known quotations.
I'm sure you'll enjoy reading them.
If life had gone according to plan, we would be in Italy now....
but we did the next best thing and went to the movies -
The Trip to Italy, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
They were funny, eating their way through a series of gourmet restaurants, impersonating Hugh Grant, Al Pacino, and other stars, and finding ever more outrageous ways to insult one another.

We didn't see any of the famous sights, but I laughed more than I expected...
In other news from Europe, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco are expecting their first child.
Congratulations, and good luck to them both.
These beautiful sculptural forms are Aboriginal fish traps, woven from vines and pandanus palm leaves in a twining technique which is also used for baskets and mats.
Though made as sculptural objects, they would function effectively as traps; there is a funnel in the mouth of the trap to hold the captured fish.
They were made by artists from Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory of Australia.
