Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.

    European architecture boggles the mind with its beauty – show me a building any day like the one above as opposed to any Western skyscraper…

    I can totally attest to that quote, Cherie. Totally! European architecture in particular has enthralled me.

    Architects grow old and, one by one, they eventually die until the last of the breed died in 1944.
    They have not been replaced.

    Blimey, this was supposed to only appear here, CherryPie.
    Sorry about the doublet. Too much tea I suppose.
    Nothing similar will happen tonight, though. A glass of red is smiling at me. Sláinte.
