That was a lovely listen, Marina!
He’s quite the fancy boy. And he lived a long life, for the times.
Was catching up on Tim’s blog while listening!

Ah, yes he did! I think this piece goes beautifully with Tim’s breathtaking photos!

Gorgeous music and scenery, Marina! Enjoy your day, dear friend! xoxoxo
Thank you, my dear Lauren. You too and a happy February too! ❤😘😘😘
Yes, Happy February! Can’t believe it! 🙃❤️🌺
Time huh?! 🙄
❤️😘🤗😘❤️
Over the Hills and Far Away is wonderful. Of course, I think of Led Zeppelin’s song released 76 years after Delius wrote his. I must say I really like the photos from your favorite hill. It looks like you can go over the hills and get far away.
Ah, yes… LZ!
I really miss that hill. Though it’s not far (close the center of Athens), I can’t visit because it’s another area from ours and we’re still under lockdown. From that hill you can see far away, to the sea!
From the hill see the sea.
😉 😂🤣
Ahh lovely Marina, hope your staying safe and well with Oannes 🙂
Thank you, my dear Gilly! Yes we are. I hope you are too!!!! xoxoxoxoxo & many hugs!
…and yes, I really feel like I’m far far away whenever I’m there!
Oh Marina! Thank you for the introduction to Frederick Delius. I have never heard of the composer before!
Ah, so glad I introduced him, my dear Rebecca and I hope you enjoy more of his works.
Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo
