Interesting. He must have been worthwhile and entertaining friend, even if a rather alarming shopkeeper.

Thanks!
A friend ~~~~ good to have! I see on Wikipedia your interest in houses. Checking my listing I am surprised to find I did not review one of my all-time favorite books "The Living House" by George Ordish. It is a detailled account of Bartons End from 1556-1949. Most probably it is a book for you! I hope you can track it down. (I do not own the book that followed its history forward.)
Thanks, I'll look it up!
Sadly I am realizing how old we are, and the consequences. We were in England in 1974, 1976 and 1979. Each trip was wonderful. (We even seriously considered retiring to London but that proved impossible.) About Aldeburgh: my "trip diaries" are in storage and we aren't now sure if we were there each trip or only twice. I know we were there when Britten was still alive (or am I imagining that we saw him in a balcony?) I recall one funny thing: we'd bought all tickets in advance but, en route from London, met a man who was only going to "Hear a work by a friend named Bach." We said we did not have tickets for that. BUT, walking along in the afternoon we encountered him, and the young Bach (with his mother!) and they influenced us to attend that performance (which was very worthhwhile.) We saw performances of "The Firey Furnace" and "Curlew River." We attended many concerts. I recall a singing harpist.) We always were glad we had spent the time, energy and money to come to your lovely area. Now here at home we have seen "Peter Grimes" in several incarnations on TV, and a local group has done "Curlew River" beautifully. **** I'm trying to think of the sculptor but am drawing a blank ~~ you know who I mean. All in all we were well rewarded for being there.
After cleaning up a greasy spill (you don't want to know) I paused & checked to see the great Discussion. . . then, to this page which sent me to Aldeburgh and Britten Festival visits! What a wonderful place. . . we had splendid times (and even funny adventures there!) ~~~ Suppose someone had originally replied (to "What to do with inane reviews " IGNORE THEM!" we'd never have met. . . and I wouldn't have been thrown back to England this California afternoon.
THANK YOU!!!!! I am in the midst of ferocious household chores but will add my comments to the Great Discussion asap~~~esta
Hi Theo. I have just had a peek at your library. It's amazing. I can't believe how organised you are. My library needs a lot of work. You also have some great crosswords "how to" books. Are The Times' crosswords as hard as I think they are?

Jennifer
Thanks Theo I will check them out. Are you a crossword fan as well? One of my first jobs (over twenty years ago now) was for a newspaper in Sydney and every morning the staff would do the crossword and puzzles. My husband got me interested in cryptic crosswords and gradually I came to understand how they work. I still class myself as a beginner as I can't finish the cryptics in The Sydney Morning Herald. I haven't had much luck finding books on crosswords so I will be very interested in what's in your library.
Jennifer
Thank you, a friend gave me their old computer a couple of months ago, I am still trying to work out how to do things.
Thank you for your kind comment about my twisted sense of humour.

Looking at the Authors in your Favourite Author list, I am truly surprised that we only share 7 books!

I must get that Sandy Balfour 'What I love about Cricket: etc etc' book that you have. Going right now to add it to my Wishlist Collection (collections - wheee!)

Jim
Why, thank you sir! I am glad to have entertained :-)
