I could not be more delighted. Of course I hoped that some people might do exactly that, but it did seem rather a lot to ask, with the posts being so long and all, and so filled with demands and suggestions. So hurrah hurrah for you and your washing. Interestingly, I was reading an interview with Jonathan Miller only yesterday and he is quite obsessed with what he calls the 'negligible detail'; the thing that most people overlook but writers notice, and does, in the end, mean something. I think your washing counts. <br /><br />Keep writing, and I wish you all good luck - TaniaTania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-5656735250675514862009-10-26T23:40:37.696+00:002009-10-26T23:40:37.696+00:00Printed off and read your blogs on writing.

Whenever I put up happy bucolic photographs I do always think of you and my other ex-pat readers, so far away, having little nostalgic moments for dear old Blighty. Although if you could see her today you would not feel nostalgic at all. Sixth day of filthy, squalling rain, dirty grey skies, everything sodden and drenched and defeated. Even the dogs eye such weather with hesitation. xxTania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-75653277815336908012009-10-23T22:33:25.063+01:002009-10-23T22:33:25.063+01:00Such beautiful photos.

So many of them remind me of my family's estate in Surrey and my boarding school in Berkshire.<br />I agree, we must look after the woods and forests around the world as even now, its almost too late. xxxSo Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090206663800207951noreply@blogger.com
