There really is a sense ...Mike, thank you for that. There really is a sense of the blending of time, past and present. There was an artist who had a studio near my mum and dad back in Pickering Village. He was able to paint a landscape of the present with a scene from the past, on the one canvas. Families were portrayed, perhaps skating on an ice pond...that was long gone. He was able to integrate it with a very changed scene from the present. I often found his work deeply moving. It was a wonderful way to honour the past within the context of change. Thanks so much for your comment. Looking forward to meeting up soon.

Oh well, that's why when we go out for a meal, we go "out"side - an appetite is pretty much guaranteed! Besides, there's never any lineups or waiting. :) Nice to hear from you.
