<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My beloved Blog has been neglected for the past year, as </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I succumbed to the 'Quick Fix' of posting my cemetery photos on Facebook ~ no time consuming research is required in order to uncover any interesting stories .......</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was simply drawn to the instant gratification of posting and prompt mutual appreciation of sharing pictures.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But the simple posting of pictures meant that the fascinating stories behind them became forgotten and that had been a huge part of the passion that lead me to writing this blog in the first place.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I shall start as I meant to go on and tell you about my most recent Cemetery Adventure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just over a week ago we decided to spend Christmas at the Italian Lakes with my folks. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I knew that we would be visiting Milan and doing the requisite whistle stop 'City Tour'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know that Milan has an amazing monumental cemetery and I'd admired countless photos of those lucky enough to have visited it. What an irony to be this close to it and yet so far ~ I had even thought of asking if I could be dropped off and picked up again a few days later, but it was an organised trip with timetables to be adhered to and this was a family holiday after all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I shelved that idea and made a mental note to self to put it on my 'Cemeteries To Do List' </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When we joined our coach trip, the two drivers, Mark and Sam greeted us dressed as Santa Claus and his Elf ~ A very Merry Christmas was definitely assured at this time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the day of the Milan City Tour, it was explained that we would see the famous Cathedral ~ 5th largest in the world ~ the Citadel, other points of interest and wait for it...the Cemetery ~ did I hear them right ? ~ yes The Cemetery. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whoops of joy came from me as I explained to Mark and Sam how excited I was ~ This was the best Christmas gift of the Year ~ I told them about this blog and bless them, even if they thought I was slightly demented, they took it all in their professional stride......</span><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course we were not there for very long, but that has only strengthened my resolve to return, but for a few days next time. Luckily I did get a few photos that will appear on here very soon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A day or so later on another day trip to St. Moritz, as we passed through a village outside Chiavenna, Sam and Mark announced that we would stop for a break at a waterfall and for those who might be interested, there was a small pretty Cemetery in front of it......... </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And sure enough there was.......</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this post is dedicated to the hard work and safe driving of Mark and Sam, who looked after our every needs and made our Christmas trip to Italy such a memorable one and also for sounding like they would be delighted at being mentioned on this Blog. xx</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think it seems like such a tragic accident, that after surviving the Second World War, Mrs Helen Humphris was killed by lightning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">About 24,000 people are killed around the world every year by lightning and another 240,000 are injured. In the UK between 30 and 60 people are typically struck by lightning every year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From 1852 to 1859 there was an annual average of 19 lightning fatalities. The figure dropped to 12 deaths from 1900 to 1949, then five a year from 1950 to 1999. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since then it has fallen to about three per year, due to fewer people working outdoors and better awareness of the risks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the UK you are 600 times more likely to die in a road accident than from lightning strike, twice as likely to die froma Bee sting or a falling tree and 130 times more likely to drown.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adolphe Sax was born on 6th November 1814 in Wallonia, Belgium. His father was an instrument designer and so Adolphe began to make his own instruments at an early age. Adolphe studied music at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adolphe's first important invention was an improvement of the bass clarinet which he patented at the age of 24.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He moved to Paris in 1841 and began working on a new set of instruments, these valved bugles became so successful that they became known as Saxhorns, with a range of approximately seven sizes in all from Sopranino to subcontrabass and he patented them in 1846. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Saxhorn instruments spread rapidly throughout the world and remain largely unchanged today. The British Brass Band movement exclusively adopted the saxhorn range and they are widely used in Concert bands. However they never became a standard Orchestral instrument for which they had been intended to be used.</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One hundreds year ago today, the German barque 'Hera' had been 90 days into it's voyage to Chile when it hit rocks off the Roseland peninsula and was wrecked. It was carrying a cargo of nitrates when it struck a reef during a thick fog.</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of a crew of 24, only five of them survived and only 12 bodies that were recovered are now buried in the churchyard of St.Symphorian in the village of Veryan in Cornwall. </span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It makes perfect sense to me, that a psychoanalyst should have such a fascinating monument that highlights how we perceive the world around us, by proving that things are not always as we think they appear to be. </span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Very often the delicate stained glass windows in mausoleums are damaged or missing altogether, this may be due to the elements, vandals or just the ravages of time. So it was a joy to find many of these works of art in tact and still looking beautiful more than a century later in the Cemeteries of Paris. Here are a selection of those to be found in Montmatre. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dalida was born on the 17th January 1933 and named Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti, her parents were Italian and had emigrated to Cairo, Egypt where her father was the first violinist at the Opera House and it was here in the Italian community that Dalida was born and grew up. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Destined to a career as a secretary, Dalida secretly entered a beauty pageant and then in 1954 at the age of 20, Dalida won the title and was crowned Miss Egypt<span style="line-height: 10.828125px;">.</span> The Cairo film industry opened it's doors to Dalida and it was then that she was spotted by French director Marc de Gastyne. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Despite her parents reluctance, Dalida moved to Paris which was to become her home for most of her adult life, on Christmas Eve of the same year intending to persue an acting career. It was around this time that she adopted the name Dalida.</span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dalida's singing career began in Egypt, during the early 1950s and due to her limited success in French Cinema, she started taking singing lessons and was booked as a Cabaret act on the Champs~Elysees which proved successful. Dalida’s debut single 'Madona' was a moderate success, however the release of 'Bambino' in 1956 would prove to be triumphant ~ it spent 46 weeks in the French top ten and remains one of the biggest-selling singles in French history. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dalida was awarded her first gold disc in September 1957. Dalida toured extensively from 1958 through the early 1960s, playing dates in France, Egypt, Italy, and the United States. Her tours spread her fame outside of France, and Dalida soon became well known throughout Europe. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Throughout the 1960s Dalida would frequently perform sell-out shows and international dates became more frequent. In December 1968, she was awarded the Médaille de la Présidence de la République by General Charles de Gaulle, the only person from the music industry to have received this medal.</span></div>

In 1973, Dalida recorded 'Paroles Paroles' with close friend Alain Delon. The song became a big hit and was the number one single in France, being played consistently on French radio, at the request of listeners. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Despite her enormously successful career, Dalida's private life was marred by a series of tragedies and personal problems.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whilst on a whistle stop tour of Scotland a few months ago in September, we briefly visited the village of Killin and the ancient burial ground of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Macnab"><b>Clan Macnab</b></a> which is on the Island of Inchbuie ~ The Yellow Island ~ at the Falls of the River Dochart. Unfortunately we did not have the time to explore any further......</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a recent trip to Scotland we visited the Old Calton Burial Ground in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1718 it became a place of interment for the local artisans and tradesmen of the Burgh of Calton, but later became popular and many eminent literary, scientific and artistic figures were also buried here. </span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although it is well cared for and tended now, it must have fallen into decline over the years as most of the mausoleums are now simply shells of their former glory.</span><br />
