Today’s “Blog
every day in May” assignment was: “A moment in your day”
Mine was meeting Anya. I have rarely in my life run into
someone who has a great knowledge of crucial turning points in history, this
time I ran into someone who has lived them. Her house contains remnants of her
many lives: Russian Icons, boxes, bronze artefacts from Jerusalem, ivory from
China, Africa, wall hangings and pictures from all over – I could do a whole
blog on the contents of one glass cabinet.
But all these mementos pale against the woman herself, the experiences
she has lived, the people she has known and the knowledge she possesses. Such
people are precious to our collective memory. Never mind that she served us
