2. By The Sea
Episode 2 of 5
Jan's diary of her thoughts covers much ground - life by the sea, catchphrases and Ibsen the cat. Read by Janet Suzman.
In Jan Morris's published 'diary of my thoughts', the renowned author and traveller covers much ground:
'I have lived almost all my life by the sea.. most of the books I have written have been about sea cities.. I can hardly imagine life far from a shoreline, without a horizon'.
She also ruminates about the origins of catchphrases, do they stand the test of time?
And a late beloved cat called Ibsen.
Abridged by Katrin Williams.
Read by Janet Suzman.
Producer: Duncan Minshull.
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in September 2018.
