Today’s weather pattern was again that of sunshine and showers. This morning Margery and Paul visited to return my copy of “Framley Parsonage’ and to borrow “Can He Forgive Her?” and “The Last Chronicle of Barset”.

I took a short walk along Hordle Lane to visit the horses in a waterlogged Yeatton Cottage paddock. These miserable looking animals, wrapped in their winter rugs, could not even show their customary interest in myContinue reading “An Aid To Autosuggestion”
