C. Hutchinson, an author I read in my extreme youth. "That makes us a coterie of two," I thought as I Googled Hutchinson only to find (via Google's new hit counter) that his entry in Wikipedia has accumulated 1m hits. One of those strange moments that only the Internet can bring about - the leap from being part of (an imagined) tiny minority into a sort of humdrum huge-ish crowd.<br /><br />I'm glad you found a Brit who does Brittany (or anywhere in France, for that matter) justice. Most of the ones I've glanced at, imagining themselves to have a hand on the Peter Mayle faucet, qualify for that wonderfully dismissive adjective <EM>débile</EM>. Needless to say I'm talking about book authors, here. You must surely be coming up for a <EM>Légion d'Honneur</EM> for your services to Marianne.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-13732463841085425862009-04-24T03:07:00.000+02:002009-04-24T03:07:00.000+02:00Fun, fun, all around!

You make Davis's writing/observances sound incredibly appealing.<br /><br />Sorry that I have been MIA. I just got on the computer again for the first time in weeks, and it will probably take me ages to catch up with everyone. I just wanted you to know, though, that I've posted some pics of Texas bluebonnets. I remember that you wondered about them (from last year's TX visit).Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-88278086373024247712009-04-23T22:46:00.000+02:002009-04-23T22:46:00.000+02:00I'd better get this read before we hit Dinard in A...I'd better get this read before we hit Dinard in August.
