'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Ithaka, sitting on the beach, looking at the sky for a good omen, but there are no birds, only a light wind from the north. Perfect for sailing. "I'll miss you" he says. He hauls himself on board the old ship and waves. And I keep to myself the bad omens in my dreams. Be safe Odysseus my love.

I'm in the coastal town of Port St Pierre in France, in the 1970s, being haunted by the ghost of Joan of Arc! I'm quite enjoying the stay in a chateau, though.

Just met a very young Oscar Wilde, Princess Louise and a second meeting with James Whistler and Frank Miles. I'm still waiting for the first meeting with Bertie...
