The Great Seducers (part 3) -The Ideal Lover.

LASTEST BLOG POST ALERT! The Great Seducers (part 3) - The Ideal Lover. The first two parts of this series looked at the siren (who masters by manipulation) and the rake (adores but unable to commit). Today's post and our third type of seducer, is 'the ideal lover', who in theory should be less threatening to our composure, but in reality is every bit as dangerous. The ideal lover feeds off people's dissatisfaction and in a world of disillusionment he or she is gifted in the illusion of…See More

Regency Panes - why windows are more interesting than they appear.

             This week I discovered a great book, ‘Regency Style’ by Steven Parissien, and the chapter on windows is especially fascinating. For instance, did you know that the ‘bottle pane’ windows associated with old-fashioned bow windows were NEVER used at the front of a house and this glass was a fire hazard? (More about this, later.) TO READ THE FULL POST VISIT:http://graceelliot-author.blogspot.com …See More

Breath of Death ....

Breath of Death. “A great deal of slow poisoning is going on in Great Britain.”Dr William Hinds 1857             In the 1850’s a change came over the nation. As oil lamps, with their brighter light, replaced candles as the main source of household illumination, walls no longer needed to be pale reflective colours. Dark shades became fashionable and of these, there was a positive passion for Scheele’s Green and Schweinfurt Green. Anyone who considered themselves fashionable, had to have a ‘green…See More

Cat Gut Your Tongue?

Traditionally what are violin strings made from? A)    Cat gut,B)     Steel wire orC)    Sheep intestine. The answer, of course, is (c) – sheep intestine, so why then, do are the strings of violins, stringed instruments and tennis rackets called ‘cat gut.’ It seems the answer lies with a medieval myth about16th century saddle maker, Erasmo.

Cats or Rats? -Facing Phobias.

 My mid week post involved the Emperor Napoleon and 30,000 rabbits. This reminded me of Napoleon’s reputation for being afraid of cats. Apparently this was an open secret amongst friends and adversaries alike. Indeed, during an important political debate, an opponent got the upper hand, throwing Napoleon off his stride, merely by bringing the subject of cats into the conversation. Another example of this deep seated fear happened during the campaign for the Battle of Wagram. An Aide de Campe…See More
