Regency music often reflected the elegance and restraint of the era. A popular genre was the "Piano Sonata," and composers like John Field helped shape the romantic style that would later influence Chopin. Music in this period was both a social and artistic expression. #Regency #RegencyPeriod #Music

6 months ago yesterday, I had emergency open heart surgery. And thanks to the support of so many amazing people, whether they be medical professionals, friends, family, and work managers, I’m still here, happy and relatively healthy with my family. 🥰

The First Red Leaf 🍁 Upon the fading summer grass, A crimson herald lay, As though the heart of autumn had Come wandering my way. I paused, and all the field grew still, Beneath the paling sky; One fallen leaf had taught my heart How beautifully things die. 🍂 Caroline Malcolm-Boulton

This was a year ago. What a pleasure and priviledge it was to interview the one and only Andrew Davies about his Jane Austen adaptations. I'm been fortunate enough to interview him three times for different literary houses, and we have become friends. And he's just turned 90! 🥳

Thank you to everyone who joined my talk with The Charles Dickens Museum on Dickens' Women. I hope you enjoyed it. I am so sorry the powerpoint did not play properly. But the museum has the audio recording and I have sent them the visual aids, so these can also be sent to you. Thank you again.

Summer wanes, its warmth departs, Golden days leave tender hearts. Sunset skies and long, soft eves, Now are but a memory's leaves. Yet as autumn's breath draws near, I'll miss summer's bright, warm cheer. But as the seasons gently turn, Next year, for you, I'll yearn.

In the gentle shade of birch so tall, A woman stands, immersed in the call With every page, her spirit soars, A peaceful joy the heart adores. In nature’s embrace, she's free and bright, Her soul alight with the morning light.

Forget Darcy or Thornton. This guy is the handsomest hunk that ever was. He’s loyal, he’s loving, and he’s a great kisser (usually in the middle of the night when you least expect it). 🤎🤍

In All About Eve (1950), Bette Davis’s iconic line "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" was completely unscripted! The line became legendary, and Davis’s sharp wit and unfiltered energy made her one of the best actresses of her time.

Honouring the late Tim Curry in one of my favourite roles of his, as Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers, 1993.

Farewell to the wonderful Tim Curry, who has died aged 80. From The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to It, The Three Muskateers and countless stage roles, he was funny, fearless, wonderfully eccentric and completely unforgettable. There really was nobody else quite like him.

Green fields stretch wide, ducks glide on by, Cottages nest 'neath the open sky. The breeze, it flits through the trees, As time slows down with every breeze. England's heart beats soft and slow, Where simple joys, are what we long to know.

So sad to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton, a truly remarkable woman whose music brought joy to millions. From ‘Jolene’ and ‘9 to 5', her talent was unforgettable. And we cannot forget the her Imagination Library, which helped countless children discover the joy of reading.
