Montreal Is…
I had to, I couldn’t resist it any longer. This writing challenge finally gives me the excuse I’ve needed to use my photos from my trip to Montreal in 2005. I LOVE MONTREAL.

In concert once she said inspiration for one of her pieces came whilst “flipping through Norton’s Anthology of Literature”. On … Continue reading Another Merry Maudlin Monday
