16-7 Harwich

Gisterenavond zat ik in de verkeerde pub. Ik bedoel het was wel een sfeervolle pub, maar de kaart was niet geweldig. Verkeerde keuzes met eten, al weer een rumpsteajk maar nu met gefrituurde uienringen en een bak sla.

Maar toen ik terug kwam op de camping, waren Alan en Jill er weer en die nodigden me uit voor koffie in hun motorhome. Er was nog een vrouw van begin zeventig, met de stem van mrs Bucket uit Keeping up appearances. Zij had na de dood van haar man een klein bestelautootje om laten bouwen tot minicampervan en reist daar mee rond.

Deze ochtend doe ik heel rustig aan en fiets dan in het zonnetje naar Woodbridge voor koffie. Daarna ga inderdaad maar Sutton Hoo en bekijk de grafheuvels en het museumpje. Je kont daar via een drukke weg zonder fietspad,, zodat ik regelmatig een file achter me heb rijden. Ik duik san maar even de berm in on iedereen langs te laten.

Het voelt wel vreemd om zo snel al weer terug te gaan. Maar de fiets heeft er niet zoveel in dit jaar met dat gekraak en het inzakkende zadel en ik maak me ook een beetje zorgen om het restant van de rode vlek van de tekenbeet. En als ik wat eerder terug ben, kan ik mooi het schilderwerk aan de voorkant afmaken, de badkamerramen hebben een beurt nodig net als de kozijnen van de huiskamer. En dan zijn er nog al die achterstallige klusjes, zoals de trap waar nog altijd een leuning langs moet, bijvoorbeeld.

Er gaat een voetveer van de landpunt voorbij Sutton Hoo naar Felixstowe, maar op de foto te zien is het gewoon een sloepje. De vraag is dan ten eerste hoe krijg ik mijn fiets met bagage daarin en vraag twee is of dat bootje überhaupt gaat na met al die harde wind die recht het zeegat in blaast. Ik waag het er niet op, maar ga gewoon via Woodbridge naar Felixstowe, er is een mooi fietspad voor aangelegd. In Felixstowe gaat een pont naar Harwich, dus dat scheelt een flink stuk fietsen.

Maar goed het is een mooie fietstocht door de heuvels naar Felixstowe. De stad zelf valt reuze tegen. Volgens Alan was het havenfront mooi opgeknapt, maar ik zie dichtgetimmerde huizen, gokhallen en Fish en Chipstentjes. Het is best even zoeken naar de steiger van de ferry, die staat nergens aangegeven. Als ik er met behulp va Google Maps arriveer, zie ik een soort van kiezelstrandje met een bord met dienstregeling. Het is kwart voor drie en de volgende pont gaat om half vier. Het verzoek is je kaartjes online te kopen. Dat wil best doen terwijl ik op de pont wacht. Ik verheug me nu al op een kwartiertje varen en dan lekker naar de pub.

Maar als ik dan naar de website ga om te betalen, verschijnt er een boodschap op het scherm.

Due to the stormy weather the ferryservice is cancelled Sunday 16th.

Waaaaat?? Nondeju, wat nu? Joving, wat ben je toch een sukkel. Zo slim als ik vanmorgen bedacht dat het pontje naar Felixstowe niet zou gaan, zo dom ben ik er nu vanuit gegaan dat dit wel een grote veerpont zou zijn.

Er zit niks anders op dan om te fietsen via Ipswich en Manningham. Dan denk je dat je er bijna bent, je kunt de het gebouw van de Stena Line al bijna zien en dan moet je nog een dikke 50 kilometer. Gelukkig heb ik nog even de tijd, ik moet er uiterlijk half elf zijn, maar ik ben toch even uit het lood geslagen.

Google geeft een snelle route naar Ipswich, dwars tussen de containerterminals door en vervolgens over een fietspad langs de snelweg.

Van Ipswich naar Manningham is er geen fietspad meer, je moet gewoon over het randje van de tweebaans provinciale weg waar de maximumsnelheid 60 mijl is.

En dat crankstel maar kraken en tikken.

In Manningham aangekomen ben ik helemaal flauw van de honger en gaar van het voorbijrazende verkeer. Zo vriendelijk en voorzichtig iedereen op het platteland is, zo agressief rijden ze hier. Ze scheuren met 90 vlak langs je, dus je moet goed focussen op de witte lijn langs de kant van de weg. In Ipswich steekt zelfs iemand zijn hoofd uit het autoraam en roept iets van fuck terwijl hij me woedend aanstaart. Gelukkig stopt de bestuurder niet, want anders was het nog een interessante situatie geworden.

Ik ben tegen zessen in Manningham en zie een leuke pub aan de rivier. Ik trek snel een lange broek over mijn fietsbroek aan en stap naar binnen. Ze hebben een heerlijke lasagna met geroosterd stokbrood en salade met toe een lemon tart met een espresso. Mijn kop gloeit helemaal en ik moet nog een uur en 20 minuten naar Harwich. Kom op ouwe, je kunt het!

Ik kijk nu al uit naar een grote pint aan boord.

Pelléas et Mélisande - Debussy — Grand Theatre de Genève

Lost in a forest, a prince meets a mysterious woman and takes her home to a dark castle haunted by repressed longings. There she grows fonder of her new husband's half-brother, sparking a fatal love triangle between the three of them.

In a perfect synergy of the arts, choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet, together with the legendary performance artist Marina Abramovic, stage Pelléas et Mélisande as a cosmic dream. Like Debussy through his impressionistic music, the performers and creators of this production dispense with any illustration and instead bring out the hidden emotions of the characters.

MARCHA NA PRAIA GRANDE , UM VELUDO DE LEGUMES AO ALMOÇO E MANON DE MASSENET /OLIVIER PY DEPOIS DA SESTA : terça feira ,depois de uma marcha na Praia Grande foi tempo para amena conversa com os meus amigos Ferro que quiseram prolongar o banquete da véspera oferecendo-me um tupperware com a sopa “veludo de legumes “ arte da Drª juíza . Foi o meu almoço .Depois da sesta foi um streaming onde Patricia Petibon cintilou como a sedutora Manon Lescaut na ópera de Jules Massenet e dirigida por Olivier Py . Sou como Pierre Boulez um admirador da música de Massenet e também do polémico encenador .

Em fevereiro de 2016, a nova produção de Manon reuniu pela segunda vez a soprano Patricia Petibon e o diretor Olivier Py no palco do Grand Théâtre de Genève - após a famosa Lulu em 2010.

Está não é uma das obras mais conseguidas de Olivier Py . A abertura tem a sua marca com bailarinas de seios nus e calções de lantejoulas montando homens desvestidos com fatos convencionais Olivier Py exagera no burlesco que por vezes se transforma em grotesco e a produção torna-se por vezes esquizoide . Mas a música de Massenet e a actuação da ruiva soprano Petibon que além da qualidade de voz tem uma presença em palco magnética e exibe grande souplesse no manejo do corpo em cenas mais cruas .

Ao lado de Petibon (Manon), Bernard Richter (Chevalier des Grieux) e Pierre Doyen (Lescaut) cantam sob a batuta de Marko Letonja. Ópera cômica em cinco atos sobre um libreto de Henri Meilhac baseado no romance de Abbé Prévost, L'Histoire du chevalier Des Grieux e Manon Lescaut. Apresentada pela primeira vez na Opéra Comique em 1884. pela primeira vez na Opéra Comique

Another life ruined

I want to tell you another story. I want to tell you the story of Jonno and Richard. You already know what happened with John and Ivan. Jonno lyed to Ivan that he was single to sleep with him. He has done the same to Richard while he was with Ivan. Jonno told Rishard he split up with Ivan and they were just friends. John told that lie in march this years. But Jonno was still with Ivan and all he wanted was sex. So he made Rishard believe he wanted to date and be in a relationship with him. From day one John turned the chat about sex telling Richard he wanted to "suck him off" and "fuck him hard in the ass". The story with Jonno and Richard is very similar to what happened with Ivan. John contonues with his way of hiding the the truth just so he can get laid. Risch is now struggling with his feelings as he finds out he was fucked for nothing. A few days after Rich finds the truth Jonno stops talking to him. He splits with both Ivan and Rich and contonies. He moves to Dan. Dan seems sweet and trusting. He buys his story too. It is early July and Jonno is already sleeping with Dan and telling him how he was cheated on in his last relationship. John tells Dan he was left heart broken, harassed, attacked. He knows this is not true but he also knows he has done it before and it worked. Jonno knows it is ok to make up stories to have sex with people and get money from them. We need to stop Jonno as this is enough. Noone can be lied to and taken advantage of. John is going to keep do this until he can and until he gets away with it.

63 Years Between Kisses – The New York Times

On the June day in 1956 when a young woman named Annette Adkins left Woodbridge, Va., to spend the summer with relatives in Kentucky, Bob Harvey lost the love of his life.

Mr. Harvey, who had slow danced with her weeks earlier at the junior prom, remembers seeing her get in a 1955 tan Pontiac, with a Marine Corps sticker on the bumper. She waved a shy goodbye out the back window as the car drove off and he wiped away tears.

“She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen,” said Mr. Harvey, 80, of King George, Va. “I was totally, 100 percent in love with her.”

It was if he knew right then and there he would have to wait 63 years for his next kiss with her.

Because a summer apart felt eternal, he sold his hunting rifle to fund his long-distance calls while she was away. But, within the month, and after only a few conversations, he ran out of money. He spent the rest of the summer waiting for her to return for the start of their senior year at Gar-Field High School.

When she did, it wasn’t the reunion he had wished for. And she would eventually be going by a new name as the wife of her newfound summer love, John Callahan.

When Mr. Harvey first met Ms. Callahan, she had just moved to Woodbridge to live with her cousin Betty Nichols at the start of their junior year. There hadn’t been much to do in her hometown Pikeville, Ky. “I couldn’t go to football games or really have a social life there,” she said. Woodbridge provided teenage intrigue almost immediately.

In study hall, all eyes were on the new girl. “I couldn’t take my eyes off her,” Mr. Harvey said. “She had auburn hair and a stunningly beautiful face and her eyes were just, wow.”

During one of her first few study halls, Ms. Callahan noticed Mr. Harvey passing notes to a girl she rode the school bus with, Shirley Pemberton. “One day I saw Shirley on the bus and I said, ‘Do you like Bob Harvey? I’ve seen you passing notes with him,’” Ms. Callahan said. “She said, ‘No, he’s passing me notes because he’s wanting to know about you.’”

Ms. Callahan, 80, now of Gahanna, Ohio, was thrilled. “He was handsome and tall and a football player,” she said. Still, when Mr. Harvey asked her to a school dance as a first date, she declined. “I came from a real small country town, and I didn’t know how to dance and I was shy.” She decided she would learn from the paperboy, a classmate who asked her to the same dance but wasn’t as compelling.

“I thought, I’ll go with him and learn to dance, and if Bob asks me out again I’ll be ready,” she said. “And then who was at the door collecting our tickets but Bob?” Mr. Harvey, heavy-hearted that she was there with another boy, asked Ms. Callahan to dance that night anyway. She said yes. “I was so timid I was trembling. I wanted him to like me.”

In that department, she needn’t have worried.

But when Ms. Callahan left that summer, their time apart loosened teenage heartstrings. From Kentucky, she journeyed to Miami Beach to stay with an aunt and uncle and there, she met Mr. Callahan, whom she would marry five years later.

When she returned to Woodbridge for senior year, Mr. Harvey was eager to make up for lost time. He approached her at her locker with his arms outstretched. “I said, ‘Bob, I met someone else. I’m sorry. I don’t want to date you anymore,’” she recalled. “Now it sounds unkind to me. But at that time I didn’t want to lead him on.”

Mr. Harvey was devastated. “I still loved her tremendously,” he said. “But being a Southern gentleman, I knew I had to respect what she said.”

They went their separate ways that school year, both feeling lonesome. Mr. Harvey only had eyes for Ms. Callahan. Ms. Callahan’s new boyfriend and future husband lived far away in Ashland, Ky. As the 1957 prom season swept in, though, another new girl arrived at Gar-Field High. “She had long red hair and freckles and looked like Maureen O’Hara,” Mr. Harvey said. Her name was Diane Swift. Mr. Harvey asked her to the prom. Two years later they were married.

Ms. Callahan and Mr. Harvey describe the ensuing six decades in much the same way. Though he settled in Woodbridge and had a son and a daughter, and she settled in Westerville, Ohio, and had two sons and two daughters, both lived what Mr. Harvey called typical, traditional married-couple lives. He worked as a Washington, D.C., parks police officer for 15 years before retiring in 1977 and becoming a middle-school teacher for 23 years, and has been a deacon at his church, Two Rivers Baptist in King George, Va., for 18 years. She became a nurse and worked at several hospitals while having children and relocating to cities including Nashville and Ashland for Mr. Callahan’s career in computers.

They married within two years of each other — he in 1959 and she in 1961 — and lost their spouses two years apart. Mr. Callahan developed vascular dementia and died in 2015. Ms. Harvey died of cancer in 2017.

While they grieved their losses separately, each made appearances in the other’s thoughts. Throughout his 60-year marriage, and despite what he called his “very real” love for his wife, Mr. Harvey kept Ms. Callahan’s high school photo in his wallet. And in 1972, when he heard that Gar-Field High was being torn down for renovations, he was upset that he hadn’t been told earlier. “If I had known, I would have gone there and bought the seat Annette and I carved our initials into in study hall,” he said.

In early 2018, Michael Candler, the son of Ms. Callahan’s cousin, visited Ms. Callahan in Ohio. He had found and developed an old, forgotten roll of film with shots of Ms. Callahan and Mr. Harvey posing on a couch, preprom, and thought she might like to see the photographs. Ms. Callahan was flooded with fond memories. “It came to me, looking at those pictures, that I had had so much fun with Bob,” she said. “I wanted to talk to him again.” She looked for him unsuccessfully on Facebook.

In August 2018, Mr. Harvey was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. As he negotiated his cancer treatments, he wrestled with how he wanted to spend the rest of his life. “The lady who had been gentle on my mind for six decades became heavy, heavy, heavy,” he said. A 2019 Google search turned up Mr. Callahan’s 2015 obituary. “I hit the floor. I was like, Oh, God, she’s been a widow four and a half years. She’s probably remarried and I’ve lost her again.”

[Sign up for Love Letter and always get the latest in Modern Love, weddings, and relationships in the news by email.]

He was willing to take his chances. “I sent a donation to the palliative care unit that took care of John, and then I found a nice card of condolence and sent it to her with my name, address and phone number and signed it, ‘Thinking of you,’” he said. He had found her address through the church that held Mr. Callahan’s funeral. For eight days, he held his breath and waited. And then, on the evening of July 26, she called. “She said, ‘I’ve been looking for you and had given up ever hearing from you. Can you come to Ohio?’”

He told her he could be there by Sunday. He got up at 5 a.m. Saturday and drove 12 hours straight, stopping only for gas and to buy a bouquet of pink and white carnations when he hit Gahanna. When she answered the door, he knew what to do. “I had called my son, Bryan, and said, How do I do this? Do I just run up and plant one on her like it’s 1956? He said, ‘Go for it, Dad.’” So he did. “I handed her the flowers, and then I cupped her face in my hand and said, ‘Whether you like it or not, I’m going to kiss you.’”

Mr. Harvey spent a week in Ohio. Before he left, he asked Ms. Callahan to dance with him in her kitchen to Johnny Mathis’s “Chances Are” and the 2003 Alan Jackson hit “Remember When.” He told her he guessed she and her husband had danced a lot through the years. She told him otherwise. “My husband didn’t dance,” she said. “The last person I danced with was you.”

“My heart was beset,” Mr. Harvey said. “I am so much in love with this woman.”

Cancer treatments require Mr. Harvey to spend most of his time in Virginia, but since August he has spent 10 days per month in Ohio. On Aug. 27, a month after their reunion, he asked Ms. Callahan to marry him with a vintage 1950s diamond ring bought at his former wife’s favorite jewelry store in Fredericksburg, Va. By then, he knew Ms. Callahan’s children approved.

“At first the whole story of them seemed surreal,” said Becky Craft, Ms. Callahan’s youngest daughter. “But the more time we spend with Bob, the more we realized how much they enjoy each other

The engagement, during a picnic at Alum Creek State Park Beach in Lewis Center, Ohio, which is near Ms. Callahan’s home in Gahanna, didn’t bring tears to Ms. Callahan. “But Bob may have cried,” she said. “He’s very tenderhearted.”

On Oct. 19, Ms. Callahan and Mr. Harvey were married at Central College Presbyterian Chapel in Westerville by the Rev. David Redding, a Presbyterian minister. Ms. Callahan wore a purple cardigan and purple slacks that she said complemented her white hair. Mr. Harvey wore a white sport coat with a pink carnation, and in a nod to the era that united them, shiny penny loafers. After a brief ceremony before 17 friends and family members during which Mr. Harvey choked up twice, the couple joined 32 guests at the Nutcracker, a 1950s-themed restaurant with jukeboxes and padded booths in nearby Pataskala, Ohio.

Most of the couple’s combined 14 grandchildren were in attendance; a few had been instructed by Mr. Harvey to bring a CD player so he could dance with his bride to Johnny Mathis.

“We didn’t want any jitterbugging,” said Mr. Harvey, who will sell his house in Virginia and move to Ohio in the coming months. “At our age, we don’t want to risk getting hurt.”

On This Day

Where Central College Presbyterian Chapel, Westerville, Ohio

Dancing Again Mr. Harvey and Ms. Callahan entered the Nutcracker restaurant after the wedding ceremony holding hands to “Chances Are,” by Johnny Mathis. As they made their way down the steps, Mr. Harvey pulled Ms. Callahan close. The couple slow danced for the crowd before sitting down, Mr. Harvey whispering and softly singing the lyrics.

Sweet Memories Guests chose between spaghetti and garlic bread or roasted chicken for dinner. Later, the waitresses served a wedding cake shaped and decorated like a traditional Wurlitzer jukebox.

Like Old Times “I feel happy again,” said Ms. Callahan just after the ceremony. “I was alone for a while and was very lonely. I feel like I have a purpose again. It feels like no time has passed.”
