I have a book called American Glamour with that photograph on a table on my conservatory, it brightens my spirit and nudges me to have Fleming/Bond's Vesper Martini as often as poss, always with Plymouth Gin now that Gordon's has beenhas been watered down. A licence to kill if ever there was one.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
