I felt I was probably getting a bit serious and esoteric, writing this post, but we all inhabit different spaces and these may not be those in the immediate sensory/material world around us.

Please airlift me out and deposit me in "Sense and Sensibility" or "Rebecca" perhaps. Even Blyton's "Shadow the Sheepdog" at a pinch.

We are sure that we could live in your current book and,most probably, any other book which you would choose. As it is, our heads are rarely to be seen out of the pages of some novel or another although we have to say that usually we are being transported to Ireland as we have a particular fondness for Irish writers. Now, there is an idea....a decaying Irish Georgian mansion....stones of centuries past....there we could happily live!!!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-91553847907630568892011-09-16T12:58:23.991-07:002011-09-16T12:58:23.991-07:00Demie,
