I was there at school for 9 years - but we were on the Hill .. still going back takes me back in time ... and the more I learn.<br /><br />I'm certain many of my mother and father's friends and my uncles and aunts would be great companions ... and certainly I have some happy memories. They were both nearly 20 when the War broke out ... so led to difficult events and a different time ... then we came along. A friend of my father's from Oxford and the War ... would mention the Inklings .. but I never found out more.<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-11788427669231182892016-04-07T22:19:25.727-04:002016-04-07T22:19:25.727-04:00Instead of a Dyson-related photo, take this bit fr...Instead of a Dyson-related photo, take this bit from the movie ‘Darling’ from 1965, in which Dyson played a small part, showing his picture: https://www.youtube.com/embed/o5N6zLpdf4k?feature=player_detailpage#t=144Mithrennaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17186904224319774055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-68814624954576216912016-04-05T07:39:42.151-04:002016-04-05T07:39:42.151-04:00Thankfully, I've had plenty of characters in m...Thankfully, I've had plenty of characters in my life (and hopefully I have been a character for some of my friends).<br /><br />The boat trip reminds me of the British book, "Three Men in a Boat" If you've not read it, I'd check it out as it is very funny.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.com
