Re: 1

Hello Chris,

Thanks for warning me. I got this awkward email a couple of days ago and I couldn´t figure out what it was, but I saw course colleagues, our ww1lit-group and a few more as recipients. As it was written, one got the impression that I had sent it, but, I´m innocent. One always has to be very careful when seeing "strange things" on the internet, and my alarm bells started clanging as soon as I saw this email and I didn´t open it.

Ieper is getting ready for 2014 now, isn´t it? I saw that The In Flanders Field Museum is now closed for refurbishment and I hope to visit it after the renovation. I was very impressed when I visited it some years ago, not least was the bookshop well stocked. The whole experience was shattering.

The Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate will continue, will it? It was a very moving ceremony and one has to admire the people doing it day after day.

As I previously have mentioned, I spent two weeks at the Katholike Universitet in Leuven, during which time we visited Ieper. One has to visit Belgium to understand the totally insane devastation and suffering that the WWI caused. So, "one Elsa" went to Belgium, "quite another Elsa" left it.

We may get a White Christmas here, snow flakes are falling. Whether they will stay, is another question. Up in the very north, there has of course been snow for a while. Still, so far the winter has been very mild and temperatures above zero in the north of the country, too. How´s Belgium? Snow on Christmas cards only?

I have found some web-links that could be of interest for our ww1lit-group and now that 2014 is on the horizon, more are emerging. I will post them to our group.

By the way, I have just finished the Oxford online course Ancestral Voices, the Earliest English Literature, mainly from the Anglo-Saxon period. The course material was very rich and I had no idea that there is so much about this period on the internet.

Among all the very interesting things we had, was a number of lectures by "our very own" Stuart Lee! It was lectures he had held in Oxford to his students. It was high class entertainment and it was clear that he enjoyed immensely lecturing on this subject! I suppose they still are available in iTunesU. 

Wishing you a Peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Best

Elsa
