Magic Travel<br />

Moments<br />

Highlight those (many) travel moments in<br />

my life when things have ‘sparkled’.<br />

DAVID MOORHOUSE.<br />

A Bed of Roses<br />

St. James’s - rich in Springtime colours, young<br />

skies full of promise, at noon in The Park -<br />

after Morning Service at The Abbey.... cross<br />

over The Pond, greet the birds.... and there<br />

it is, before me, a feast for appreciative eyes,<br />

in an immaculately-maintained setting.... yet<br />

delicately free !<br />

An expression of pure beauty and subtle<br />

aroma.... an Invitation to Love, to the Joys of<br />

Nature, to Perfection Itself .... I should have<br />

stopped longer, but “The Grenadier” was<br />

calling me to a clash of arms and the memory<br />

of heroes long dead.<br />

Tarragona Cannon<br />

Walking up a long, impressive Ramp<br />

towards the towering Ramparts,<br />

under a blazingly hot sun almost<br />

overwhelming us, we stopped to take<br />

photos, grouping in front of the barrel<br />

of an old, black Cannon, set in a carriage<br />

of stone.<br />

The barrel was pointed over our<br />

heads, a pyramid of iron balls stacked<br />

neatly beside it, ready to greet an<br />

approaching enemy with deadly<br />

defiance.... a different kind of defiance
