Feature & Follow Friday

The Feature & Follow is hosted by Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog.

How does this work? First, leave your name on this post, (using the Linky tool at the end of this post).  Next, create a post on your own blog and add the Linky code.  Thirdly, visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments, (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!

What sets this Hop apart from others, is the Feature. Each week Parajunkee and Alison will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is their Feature today? Find out below, using the links to their sites.

There is also a set project which people can participate with.  This week's asks:  If you could choose any character from a book, who would it be?  What do you think that character looks like and what do you have in common?

How about Jo from Little Women?  I always liked her character because she was so determined to face life on her own terms, even when this meant flying in the face of convention, which are traits of mine also.  In looks, these-days I picture her looking like Wynona Ryder, due to her having acted the role on film, but I always pictured Jo as being petite and dark anyway.

P.S. It took me 5+ times to figure out the CAPTCHA on your site. Very hard to interpret. I had to be very determined to actually comment.
Great pick! Thanks for hopping by my blog! Following you back via Linky :D

Nice choice! I've been meaning to finish Little Women for the longest time (I've only gotten past ch. 1) but library books kept getting in the way, and since I owned the book, it's priority went right out the window, lol! I need to start a bookshelf challenge or something to ensure that I read all my unread bookshelf books :/ haha, Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm a new GFC follower :)

Thank you for all your comments, which are most appreciated.

@Parajunkee: Thanks for telling me the CAPTCHA was such a hurdle. I've switched it off now, so hopefully this will make commenting easier.

A Cure for Aging?

"All that we profess to do is but this, - to find out the secrets of the human frame; to know why the parts ossify and the blood stagnates, and to apply continual preventatives to the effort of time.  This is not magic; it is the art of medicine rightly understood.  In our order we hold most noble -, first, that knowledge which elevates the intellect; secondly, that which preserves the body.  But the mere art (extracted from the juices and simples) which recruits the animal vigour and arrests the progress of decay, or that more noble secret which I will only hint to thee at present, by which heat or calorific, as ye call it, being, as Heraclitus wisely taught, the primordial principle of life, can be made its perpectual renovator...."

Remembering Richie Tattoo Artist's Studio

Richard in the street entrance to his tattoo studio in Liverpool. The vertical sign next to Richard is now in the Liverpool Tattoo Museum. Yesterday, my sister Evelyn, Richard and myself stood outside Richard's old tattoo studio and looked up at the few remaining signs, whose paint has now mostly flacked away to reveal bare wood. On the studio's window are stick-on letters which read, "Art", where once it boldly announced his presence as the city's only "Tattoo Artist".  I can remember him buying that simple plastic lettering from an old-fashioned printer's shop. This was in 1993, not long after he'd opened the studio and before he could afford better signs. After he'd patiently stuck them onto the glass we realised that from the outside the sign read "Artist Tattoo", so we had to carefully peel the letters off the window and have another go, laughing over having made such an obvious error yet worried in case we spoiled the letteri

Ancient Rock Carving in Stapledon Woods, Wirral.

Richard on top of the rock, to give an idea of its size.  This strange carving can be found on the Caldy side of Stapledon Woods, facing farm fields which are separated from the wood by a low sandstone wall with a castellated top.  In summer, the rock face is hidden from casual view by trees covering the slope which leads up to it from the path running alongside the sandstone wall. Has anyone got any information about this carving - what it is, its age and purpose?  I've been given several theories; one that it was made for shelter, (which seems dubious as it wouldn't work very well); or that it was somekind of ancient relinquary relating to pre-Xtian religious beliefs.  Any further ideas or documented evidence would be most welcome.
