  2. Good luck with this one. I thought about it and decided not as I already have four challenges running and had decided to restrain myself this year. Famous last words...

  3. I've just had a look at it and it looks like a fun idea. I like the idea, but I know I'll just fail due to time. Look forward to reading your reviews.

  7. Ooh, I like the sound of this. One of my favourite books, Rebecca, was written in that era. But then of course there's Cold Comfort Farm. And John Steinbeck. Decisions.....

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
