We used to see Adders regularly in Dorset, but I think it's too wet for 'em round here!<br /><br />Pat - my collection of ET books is fast catching up with my ones by/about Thomas Hardy. I think he is often forgotten in the wake of folk like Rupert Brooke and oter more high-profile WW1 poets, yet he was infinitely superior in my mind and way ahead of his time.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-38633197878947495032014-02-02T06:47:50.936-08:002014-02-02T06:47:50.936-08:00I have quite a few books about Edward Thomas - sad...I have quite a few books about Edward Thomas - sadly he seems only to be known for Adlestrop when there is so much more to get out of his work. Sad that his life was cut short.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-18765240219264767982014-02-02T01:20:11.117-08:002014-02-02T01:20:11.117-08:00Absolutely fascinating folklore, will link it to m...Absolutely fascinating folklore, will link it to my bit about ammonites. A friend lives round Bodmin Moor and breeds collies, one of his dogs was stung by an adder out on the moor. Lived to tell the tale but his paw was very sore. <br />thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-34352334329632917082014-02-01T07:48:54.841-08:002014-02-01T07:48:54.841-08:00Drat - I msised it.

If you haven't read any of his poetry, or prose, then have a little dip into it - he wrote SO beautifully (his poetry was sheer genius, and years ahead of his time). I''m glad that at least you have now heard of him through me. I must do regular posts on "his" blog again - I have a walk to write up when it is comfortable to sit here long enough!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-70952138705420246432014-02-01T07:41:18.385-08:002014-02-01T07:41:18.385-08:00I woke very early this morning due to the rain and...I woke very early this morning due to the rain and put the radio on and by coincidence they were talking about Edward Thomas ( radio 4 - open country I think) Then I fell asleep again! I thought "how odd" as I hadn't heard of him until coming across your blog. ( apologies for my poetic ignorance!)Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.com
