Tiggy Sonya's: Art, Music, and Nature Patch and more...

In the year 1895, the Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Maria Mucha rose to dizzying heights of stardom. The design for the advertising poster for the Fifth Avenue, Broadway theatre production of Gismonda that opened on December 11th and ran until February 1895 would be the making of him. This prototypical production starred the then young and stunning actress Sarah Bernhardt and Lucien Guitry as Almerio. My first encounter with Mucha’s work was at a very young age. I would spend many hours with my grandmother, chatting and looking at magazines and books. One afternoon we sat in her large sunny bedroom, the light from the wide bay window making the flowers on the Sanderson wallpaper dance and sing. And if my memory serves me well, Granny opened up a magazine that was running a feature on the works of Alphonse Mucha. Those moments come rarely, do they not, when your heart flutters with delight at what you see before you in a picture. I was captured by the patterns, colors, flowers, and

Simon And Garfunkel: Lyric Theatre: Lyrics are handy in certain situations.

The world of music is like a lyric theatre. From the 12 days of Christmas lyrics to The Pogue's, Fairytale of New York lyrics, you then think of the lyrics to Delilah, which everyone knows, and you wonder why you managed to remember so many! And they also come in handy as you know. Your favourite lyrics can come in handy at many given moments and as you quote them, can really change situations. And then I hear you say, how Tiggy, what are you on about? Well, let me take you back to the 80s and to my school days in Buckinghamshire. I was lucky enough to go to what some might say was a progressive school. We attended a school that others might say has had a lot of interesting things happen that end up in the national press. And they would be right! In my day though, my secondary school was out there. No, it wasn’t just out there on the cutting edge. We were, what some might consider, orbital… We had English lessons outside, parquet flooring and Persian rugs and more freedom t

Metallica’s song, The Sandman is a retelling of a wisdom that is hidden.

For thousands of years, stories have been passed down from one generation to the next. Metallica’s song The Sandman is a retelling of a wisdom that is hidden. Fables: From mouth to ear and then eventually printed into collections of fairy tales. Fables and stories need to be heard. If not, wisdom will find a way. In far-flung centuries now forgotten, magical stories were kept and handed down from tribal meetings long, long ago. Then perhaps retold around the fire, to in more recent times, down the pub. Many of us have memories of stories passed down by grandmothers or grandpapa who cunningly wished to embed some wisdom in the heads of the younger generation. A bit like a beautiful large tapestry bag handed down from the Anunnaki people of the ancient Near East, all the way to The Jones family at number forty-two Limetree Avenue. Threefold, sevenfold tales have been put out there in the wind to spread, through many breaths, to land in the hair of another life. Answering questions we

Toxic Abuse: When The Fog Clears

Tiggy Sonya !: So, why a blog Tiggy? Some of us just have to write. My childhood nieghbour Roald Dahl encouraged my passion, picked me up from the library, read my poetry, and stories, and discussed Dickens with me. Asked me at the age of six if I would understand War and Peace, Tolstoy, and I replied, “I intend to read it until I do”, and I did. Why not write a blog about all sorts of subjects that are connected through communication? I have 3 blogs that you can reach from the front page. https://linktr.ee/SonyaTiggy?utm_source
