I write about them to express my gratitude for being able to live in an interesting place. I've never encountered the C.S.Lewis space trilogy. Nor A Separate Peace. Must check those out. I spent today in York with an old friend from Oklahoma who hasn't encountered Bill Bryson...there are a lot of things in the world and I suppose we can't meet them all or even the things we meet, we can't absorb them all. Glad you came back for a visit, Jg. We inhabit very different worlds, but it's nice to say hello now and then.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-59056691999626203772011-05-16T17:40:05.109+01:002011-05-16T17:40:05.109+01:00wow. i am just catching up on your posts today. ...wow. i am just catching up on your posts today. i must have read at least 7. you have these great walks, shelley, and thank you (to bill also) for snapping these photos to accompany your snappy prose. one book i loved in college (well, the trilogy set) was part of c.s. lewis's space trilogy. the specific book was "out of the silent planet," and in it the title character "ransom" goes on a walking tour before he's kidnapped to another planet. very fun read.<br /><br />great posts! i liked your story of walking on a felled tree to cross the stream to a private school. ever read "a separate peace" by knowles?Jg. for FatScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092383933256144130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-13223717534977432202011-05-11T15:19:07.317+01:002011-05-11T15:19:07.317+01:00Great pier!
