Apologies

Now that we are back from our week's holiday on the Furness Peninsula, you probably thought that that would be the end of blogposts on that particular area of north western England. Well, I'm sorry, if you did think that you were mistaken because there's just this one last blogpost which  I am using to showcase ten more of the 299 images I snapped during the week. Perhaps you will kindly forgive me for this self-indulgence...

Mrs Harris and Other Stories

 

I bought a second hand book online last week and it arrived yesterday. Paul Gallico’s The Snow Goose. The novella was written in the 1940’s and read by me when I was eleven back in 1973. 

It haunted me then, 

The visuals in my head of the snow goose circling the little boat in Dunkirk

I have not read it since although one of Gallico’s later novels The Poseidon Adventure is still one of my most favourite and perplexing reads. 

Gallico’s seems to be haunting me a little for after seeing this trailer I’ve booked to see Mrs Harris Goes To Paris at the Storyhouse 

It’s a gentle movie,I know I’d like 

I didn’t know until recently that Paul Gallico wrote the novel
