This is how Helen Keller used these words:
” When one reads hurriedly and nervously, having in mind written tests and examinations, one’s brain becomes encumbered with a lot of bric – a- brac for which their seems to be little use.”
Rudolph Arnheim.
This “bric-a-brac” is a remnant/chunk from a life. The fact that it is there shows there are no longer or lost connections. It was interesting to note the large number of wedding pictures including a few albums lying discarded in the box.
…This is what I found out: Mads Stage was a Danish visual artist born in Copenhagen in 1922 and he died in 2004. A recognised illustrator around the world he is known for his idyllic paintings, but he also designed and illustrated post cards, posters, stamps, books and porcelain, among other textiles.
Another something to think about “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value, rather it is one of those things that give value to survival”.
C S. Lewis
The Stroud Canal.
Then a walk along the Stroud Canal built in 1779 and closed in 1954 . Notice the bright blue sky unfortunately the rain was fleeting.
The canal is 8 miles long and has a rise of 102 feet hence the need for locks. They are still working on restoring it.
Study to show God that you really understand what you are reading. A student who is not ashamed because they can use that knowledge to know what is false.
2 Timothy 2:15
A little sample of our day visiting Stroud. What started as a rainy day then got hot again. We are on a farm CL site where the baas of the sheep are getting less as they settle for the night. A change is special as we are travelling. Thank you for looking at my post.

Bric-a-brac, such a fun word rarely used in the US. It reigns with the Yiddish tchotchke.
Ah, a new word for me tchotchke
