  4. 'Oh didn't I say....? He took a walk along the Thames..saying he likes a good constitutional, this gent..if you see him, do send my regards, and whatever ails him, shall certainly pass. ' Hoping never to see him again, I poured myself strong tea and slurped it with gusto,and

    Rob Roy

    Sorry, I can't remember posting that. I might have had too much to drink. I finished Rob Roy. It was jolly good. I will have to read Ivanhoe some day, in part to see what the controversy is.

  11. The TV adaptation of the first in C J Sansom's novels starts streaming on Disney + (UK) next Wednesday, 1st May, called "Shardlake".
  12. Loreena McKennitt - Canadian singer/songwriter, probably more in the folk genre, I first heard of her during a walk in Scotland back in 2013, when a member of the group played us her version of "The Highwayman", in the middle of a wood somewhere. Very haunting, she's also set "The Lady of Shalott" to music which is worth a listen.

Currently doing both and since 'Salem's Lot is an early work it's taking me back to a time when there were only paper books, no internet and no mobile phones. My copy even has light damage!

    Rob Roy

    I think you're being a bit harsh on the members of my book group Kev!
  17. 'Come up and see me sometime.' This being a family forum, we'll draw a polite veil over what occurred between Cruella and Major F. But suffice it to say that the police did become involved, not at the request of the Major but rather in the form of a raid on an unlicensed premises. He was caught in a most compromising position and found himself once again sporting a pair of sturdy handcuffs. Being allowed to make one phone call, he rang ...
