They're one of the real bonuses of the job.<br /><br />BTW - The photo of the pilot was amazing. A forties portrait of a debonair, David Niven character in officer's uniform. You could almost smell the pipe smoke wafting up the stairs. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment! xSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-78765142698239696952009-11-07T14:23:30.337+00:002009-11-07T14:23:30.337+00:00She sounds utterly wonderful, the kind of person I...She sounds utterly wonderful, the kind of person I'd love to sit and spend a few hours with..I bet she has some amazing tales to tell..<br /><br />Thank you Spence x<br /><br />Kitty =^,,^=Kittyhttp://www.kittywitchin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-89377659856784394862009-11-06T16:56:19.645+00:002009-11-06T16:56:19.645+00:00Thanks Silje! xThanks Silje! xSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-72548018469090398982009-11-06T14:37:25.572+00:002009-11-06T14:37:25.572+00:00Love the writing, love the lady - thank you for br...Love the writing, love the lady - thank you for bringing them to me!Siljenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-37423644442504397412009-11-06T12:15:57.510+00:002009-11-06T12:15:57.510+00:00Gerry - I want some magic windows, too. And someon...Gerry - I want some magic windows, too. And someone with a shining theodolite to come and take measurements for a magic drawing. I think I'd make them magic french windows, so I could walk out there...<br /><br />Explorer - You can't beat a good thunderstorm. Any time I see storm clouds far away over the ocean, I have a strong urge to jump in a kayak and paddle out there. When I lived in London I used to love going swimming in Hampstead ponds in the pouring rain (in the summer - I'm not quite that crazy). <br /><br />Pat - I believe her, too. There's a bit of me - that grumpy old Capricorn down-at-heel - who thinks 'Bah! She probably just meant double glazing that cuts out traffic noise and opens easily - but you don't want to listen to them.<br /><br />Jo - What struck me most about Winnie was you could see the young woman in her. She still had a brightness about her, an optimism, and a interest in new things. <br />106 is incredible! I love that term - 'my grandfather's governess'. I must start drinking schnapps.<br />Yeah - new photo. My eldest daughter got the grumps that she hadn't featured in the other one!<br /><br />Rach - Have you seen 'Hot Fuzz'? I imagine that would've been me leaping over the fences (Nick Frost, not Simon Pegg). Crash! <br /><br />Cogi - Unfortunately I was the driver on that one, so I didn't get the pleasure of riding in the back and talking to Winnie some more. As far as her hospital appt went, she wasn't symptomatic of a NOF injury, but it's difficult to tell sometimes. Unfortunately - in my usual slack way - I didn't follow up her case, so I don't know how she fared at hospital. We weren't unduly concerned, though. <br /><br />Some of these characters are so lovely to write about, though, it's tempting to expand their story more into the realms of fiction. Especially with a magic window to climb through...<br /><br />Thanks for all your comments! xxxSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-41173531285125307592009-11-05T20:00:34.707+00:002009-11-05T20:00:34.707+00:00What a wonderful piece of suspense you've cont...What a wonderful piece of suspense you've contrived there...But you do realise of course that we're simply NOT going to let you leave it at that!cogidubnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542717738481600745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-56155434099501146212009-11-05T19:01:00.556+00:002009-11-05T19:01:00.556+00:00Right in there with you Spence as ever...

She had been my grandfather's governess and was an independent 'miss' who loved schnaps, took garlic daily and ate the fat off the lamb.<br />You have a new photo!<br />xxlulu's missiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137536605784710186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-32704355244020320322009-11-05T15:57:04.250+00:002009-11-05T15:57:04.250+00:00What an absolutely charming old dear!
