We never did anything half as good as that (well, OK, I liked the Eyres and Austens, but you know...)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390594937856333216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324093991910698285.post-56339771803795416682012-01-04T20:28:55.221+11:002012-01-04T20:28:55.221+11:00Oh, wow!

I'm digging out my copy and re-reading now. Thanks for the prompt for a great walk down memory lane.missmaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144735786899221373noreply@blogger.com
