Me too, I agree with Veronica in her comment below about your wizzleying Loch Ness.

Your comment Apr 6, 2021, alerts us that "Rowing is one of my favourite sports. I have, though, never rowed competitively, though I have rowed for fun on lakes in England, Scotland, Ireland and Norway. This list includes Loch Ness. which was difficult to steer on because of the current where I was rowing."

Does the current affect anyone any time rowing or just at particular times and in particular places on Loch Ness?

Benedictine and Cistercian orders impress me with their gardens and their strucutures.

What might their members note about Hell in a five-way tale with Dominicans, Franciscans and Jesuits?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

Some online sources equate Latin with all spoken and written languages among current Vatican and Vatican City residents. Other sources link Latin only with Church services.

Might Church services be in Italian sometimes and sometimes in Latin? Might conversations and meetings be in Italian or in Latin?

BBC online describes a polar-bear skull in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh as found in 1927 in the Bone Caves at Inchnadamph. The article, Polar bear skull defies DNA test, by Steven McKenzie Feb. 16, 2009, hypothesizes the aforementioned skull as to a bear washed in there 18,000 years ago.

Other online sources mention icebergs sometimes, albeit rarely, floating to Ireland and icebergs with and without polar bears more commonly floating to Iceland.

Might icebergs and polar bears have been an ancienter phenomenon regarding Ireland in pre-global warming times?

English Wikipedia gives a death date of November 1977 for Bill Tilman. Is it not known exactly when he left Rio de Janeiro or when he listed his arrival date in the Falkland Islands as?

The second subheading, Oil paintings, ends with equating Otto Kubel with such lesser-known works as oil-painted landscapes and portraits.

Your sample in-text images feature him as finessing naturalistic, realistic colors, details and shapes.

Might he have made any landscapes or portraits of any famous people or places?

The Remembrance Walls appeal to me as such an enduring way of appreciating what brave casualties have done for their generation's and succeeding generations' survivors.

Whose initiative inspires such walls? Church, church and community, community, other?

This wizzley advises us of The grey woman by Elizabeth Gaskell even as another wizzley advises us of her Manchester-address house.

This first-mentioned, same wizzley also considers the following authors and their books:
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein
Matthew Lewis- The Monk
James Hogg - Confessions of a justified sinner
Ann Radcliff - The Mysteries of Udolpho
Emily Bronte - Wuthering Heights
Horace Walpole - Castle of Otranto
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Is each one of the aforementioned authors' residences still extant?

If so, it would be interesting to read for each one treatments similar to your treatment of the Gaskell house!

The Antarctic waters are very deep, stormy often packedvwith floating ice. They are hard to explore.

We did have the Brown bear, while the grizzly and the polar bear were unknown. Bears were hunted to extinction in the early Middle Ages.

Treason or a high level of serious crime. But treason is the main one.

Demotion being rare must be reassuring to the east-pond peerage ;-D.

But what might bring it about and would that demotion be permanent?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous, same-day observation and question.

What kind of bears did Great Britain have and what made them go extinct?

The second paragraph to the first subheading, Beginning the journey, considers missing Bill Tillman and his missing ship.

Does it seem like nobody has a specific search area for him and his ship or does it seem like all the possible search areas have been exhausted?

Genius Loci impresses me so much that it inspires the following question.

Is it possible that the other short stories mentioned below still survive?
