I love the sleeping bag story. I hadn't heard it. And the shot of the grave. Boy...I sure wish I could hop on a plane just like that (*snap*). Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
It is all so very very lovely, Pat....I loved the Sleeping Bag story---I wonder why it took so many many years for it to be returned? Such a Beautiful picture of his grave! England is truly exquisite!
Seeing these photos makes me realise that the UK is very beautiful. Well not all of it of course. I just wish we had better weather, but then of course everything would be less green.
ALW: my only excuse - it was a long time ago. The Dimsie books were written, of course, by Dorita Fairlie Bruce not Angela Brazil. I devoured them both. Apologies to all concerned.
This time they wouldn't publish the pictures with numbers. Fortunately my readers are highly intelligent and can work it out.

ReplyDeleteGG: clever girl for finding the text:)
ReplyDeleteExile: nothing worth doing is easy. Now I'm boring myself:)
Mag: wish I knew the answer. Time was when it all worked perfectly but nothing stays the same. Boo hoo.
Naomi: guilty conscience maybe.
Laurence was long dead.
Parsnip: it's quite frightening how much one has forgotten. the photographs help.
Gadjo: your mother has excellent taste and will be able to tell you far more about Dorset than I can.
I'm sure your rock garden is lovely.

ReplyDeleteJoey: we certainly never take good weather for granted and its always a talking point.
Oh a Milly Molly Mandy house - I was in love with that girl when I was a child in NZ. Also where you live is so so tropical looking, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteALW: My girlhood crush was Dimsie I the Angela Brazil books. I longed to go to boarding school, have midnight feasts, play hockey and suck lemons.
