"Copper Mines Valley "

Dublin Core

Description

These artifacts are from Eli Goldblatt's journal in which he describes his adventures through the UK; including his trips, dreams, and cooking.

The submitter provided the following about the artifact's history:
Two of them are entries at 3:31 PM & then again at 7:40 PM on Friday, 9/23/16 from our rented cottage on the Isle of Mull in Scotland during a recent trip my wife, Wendy Osterweil, & I took to the UK. The other is an image from an earlier entry at 3:18 PM, Saturday 9/17 on a walk above the small town of Coniston in the Lake District of England. I keep a journal while I travel & often draw as well as write. My notes are about what we¹ve done & seen, what I¹m thinking as we move through the landscape, & what I¹m dreaming. In the case of the 9/23 entry, I¹m also recording what I cooked. When we travel, we become frustrated with eating out & miss the autonomy of cooking for ourselves.

1. 3:18 pm. Copper Mines Valley, above Coniston village
below Old Man Coniston

2. Wendy on FB + sending emails to friends. We took a wild + adventurous tramp thru the marchvbetween sheep meadows + the bay

3. 9/23 7:40 pm Back in the cottage--
We went out to buy a chicken and a few other provisions at The Salen SPAR grocery store. Pouring rain, but the drive thru Craignure + 10 miles beyond was quite pleasant along the water. They had a little more selection than the Lithe Craignure Shop. I had been visited by a vision of chicken soup this afternoon + had to realize my vision. I carved up the whole chicken + put half in the soup pot + then broiled the white meat according to George's method. The smoke detectors went off a couple of times but all came out well. We have enough soup for tomorrow too + enough broiled chicken for lunch. Great fun playing house in the white washed cottage in the cold Hebrides rain.
Since I started having dreams located in England abt 4 nights ago, I've settled

Visual Text

1. Underneath the writing there is a drawing in blue pen ink. The drawing is of two men walking with sticks thorough a valley with two sheep in it. The sheep seem to be grazing the grass and there are trees, grass, boulders, and valley formations.

2. This is a drawing in blue pen ink of a man sitting on a couch seeming to be drawing something himself. In the background, through the window, there is a fence, grass, mountain planes, and a small house.
