I'd like to thank everyone who reads this blog; everyone who has commented and contributed and made the last two years a joy. As I said recently, it's the discourse that makes The Blue Remembered Hills what it is, and I'm grateful for it.
Thank you.
Photograph, copyright the Celt, of Borromini's wonderful helicoidal staircase at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Onward and upward!
And may you have many, many more! I'm so happy to have found you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to many more years of The Blue Remembered Hills.
Resisting the helix, the pivoting capitals of the columns actually spin it, mark its accelerated rotation, propel its ascent. Please just pick me off the floor, the man was magnificent. Compelling photograph.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it's true that doing something you're good at, and enjoy, makes you younger, isn't the proper salutation "Happy Sixty-Third"?
ReplyDeleteMay you work yourself back to 21.
no.... thank you dear Barry for your inspirational posts.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary.

Onward and upward indeed. What a terrific photograph, (of an astounding piece of architectural design).
ReplyDeleteMagnifico! Happy blog birthday and thanks to the Celt for his contributions!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I've read them all, every word. In most blogs I just look at the pictures. A man blogging in this atmosphere of lady blogs is a breath of fresh air. Meeting you in person from time to time is a welcome delight.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! The brilliant work of Boromini was a very appropriate image as your posts always provoke thought and inspiration, too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it we who should be thanking you? For two years of sharing knowledge and a point of view and broadening our horizons?
ReplyDeleteNo, Sir, Thank you.
As I said in the post, thank you. It's your comments and occasional emails that really do make being a member of this online community - and I do feel part of a community - such fun.
ReplyDeletewell.....I am thanking YOU! And Thank you is an important part of civilized communication!
ReplyDeletethank you for your civilized and extremely educated eye!
Bravo! I believe that "great blogs" will be more powerful than anything else in the future!
I have been a "decorator" (I refuse to adopt the sobriquet "designer")
for 40 years.
I adore blogs.......and I am thinking of starting one.
thank you for doing one of the absolute best!
Blue, I have learned an inordinate amount from you- your insights, knowledge of designers that need to be known to us is something I treasure. a happy anniversary to BLUE. gaye
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise today would be so lucky – discovering your blog and reading your terrific entries (especially on the mid-late 1970s) has been a huge thrill. I love contemporary life but I would have been happy if interiors stopped at 'Ordinary People'. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a happy helicoidal right back at you. (Who else would have put that word in a post?) Hard to believe it's been two years we've been attending Blue's School of Thought & Other Delights. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
ReplyDeletePenelope Bianchi, thank you and welcome. Starting a blog is a good idea and as a professional it should be of great use to you and enormous pleasure to us!
ReplyDeleteLittle Augury, thank you. I think both you and I enjoy enormously what we do!
ReplyDeleteAnna, thank you. I sometimes wish we could return to the decorating of those years, especially in terms of color
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a happy helicoidal right back at you. (Who else would have put that word in a post?) Hard to believe it's been two years we've been attending Blue's School of Thought & Other Delights. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
ReplyDeletehome before dark, thank you. Couldn't resist the word - you know how it is, sometimes words just demand to be written or spoken. Helicoidal was one of them! Again, thank you.
You are a welcome voice my friend. Happy anniversary.
