Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh definitely. Its high-class waffling.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ah, it warms the cockles of your heart. Or does it?

Jim | 21809 comments after a fashion :-)

Jim | 21809 comments I managed to get through a lot of years without ever coming across that


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It hasn't aged well.


message 558: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Unlike Tallis who has, and Shena who hasn't deigned to notice the passing of years at all


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Tallis has aged like a bottle of wine. I was going to say a good bottle of wine, but how often does he get one of those?

Shena is a woman of infinite good sense.


message 560: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Shena finds herself forced into the role of token adult far too often :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I wonder does she ever get a chance to let her hair down and go wild?

Jim | 21809 comments married to a poet? Who would notice?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Someone would. There is always someone.


message 564: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments obviously there are people out there with not enough to do


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments and an insatiable curiosity about what their neighbours are doing. Interpreting the word 'neighbour' in the widest possible sense.

I tend to be interested if they are doing things I can sell stories about ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments So that gives me an insight into your neighbours! :)

Jim | 21809 comments good neighbours are merchantable

And bad ones?


message 570: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments are too dull to be mentioned :-(


message 571: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments it was considered important that the sad episode of the dress be recorded for posterity on the blog

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I was looking for a picture and stumbled across this one of Tallis.




message 573: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Interestingly it might just remind me of a tale ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Everything reminds you of a tale. Not that I'm complaining. On the contrary - your tales are always worth reading.

David Manuel | 1112 comments I never knew Tallis bore such a striking resemblance to Johnny Depp. I suspect he drinks as much wine, too.


message 576: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments It may be that Johnny Depp bears a resemblance to Tallis Steelyard

Good point!


message 578: by Jim (new)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments It's now as clear as mud.


message 580: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Just to prove Tallis isn't always the one in the know :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments And Shena knows how to be discreet.

tar baby, he said nuffink ;-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Tar baby was made of tar, so wouldn't tend to be loquacious at the best of times.


message 584: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments remembering my Brer Rabbit, you could be right :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I went and read it to check, and I couldn't understand half of it! The version I read as a child was translated into something a lot more comprehensible.

like me you probably read the Enid Blyton version which I loved :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Probably. My childhood was awash with Enid Blyton!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Looking at this picture, there are a couple of vague hints that she might just possibly be not quite proper...

Jim | 21809 comments Sweet Nell, not quite proper!

I think you have to read Uncle Remus aloud :-)

I worry about the people you know

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments 'Not proper' ain't the half of it!!


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments But I'm very proper and virtuous, me!




message 594: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments dancing about with bare feet and bunches of grapes aint wot I'd call proper


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Dancing?? I don't see any dancing going on. On the other hand, that...animal... is looking very disapproving.


message 596: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments absolutely, proof positive that it isn't proper


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments But at least my boobs aren't on public display.


message 598: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments she says


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Come over here and say that to my face...
