Maria Callas...
We're having such a fabulous sunny day here in the North of England- the rain, for once, has gone somewhere else.
Yippee!
Just popping in to say, thank you a million times to Sadie from London UK who mailed me to tell me that a programme about the late Maria Callas, the fabulous Greek opera singer, was to be broadcast on TV last night.
The programme was poignant and wonderful, and sad. I had forgotten how Maria Callas could shake your soul and thrill your heart.
In her later years there was criticism that her voice lost some of its magical quality; others said she sang 'sharp', or a little bit above the note. What they missed was that Maria Callas was more than a machine, she was a living breathing woman who poured all her considerable artistry and yes, all her life, into her wonderful singing.
To me, she will always be, La Suprema.
So, thank you again, Sadie- your goodies will be on their way to you tomorrow.
But come on, Girls- where are those Greek recipes- and don't forget, I love puds!!
Love to you all
Susan
