A hundred years ago, Paris was the host of the 1924 Olympic Games, after The Great War. Playing is better than waging war; a playing place is better than a battlefield or cemetery. Let us gather together young people from all the nations under one roof, in a global village. They could all be sociable.  That was the idea, so they built a village of wood - many cabins for the athletes and their people. Very simple. The village was not intended to last. After the games the huts were demolished. There's the same friendship in 2024, but the village is different; the village is built for the future.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

Bes avel mab an vodreb o ev cosin Calvin ewedh?  Families are fascinating. My ancestor had two wives. They were sisters. The first wife, Mehitabel died, when their son Calvin was only ten years old. T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
