The Xandra Bingley one reminds me of when I was growing up (though I didn't have her privileges - they were quite "posh" compared with me and had the horses I could only dream about.) The Brontes are fascinating - very introverted in some ways because of being left to their own amusements as children and what outside influences there were in childhood - apocalyptic prints of the end of the world and the like on the wall created their brilliant imaginations. Yet because of the Mills in Haworth, they were also very aware of how the millworkers struggled against industrialization.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-38019811014310208462016-05-05T21:54:53.138-07:002016-05-05T21:54:53.138-07:00Sorry your local charity shops are poor for books....Sorry your local charity shops are poor for books.

The chest infection is still lingering (the a-b's take about 3 weeks to clear it) and so I am still brought down a bit by the a-b's and their side effects. Better than I was though thanks. Enjoy that garden btw.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-47780519952133942472016-05-05T21:51:46.830-07:002016-05-05T21:51:46.830-07:00Thanks Tricia.

Have a copy of The Shepherd's Life but haven't read it for some years. The last Herefordshire book looks exceedingly interesting! Here am still working my way through the Susan Howatch "Starbridge" novels for the second time - am on the 5th and once I pick it up I can't put it down. Also reading Morville Hours from my pile of books to be read and its superb! Discovered you can visit the gardens (not far from Bridgenorth) so somehow will have to persuade OH to go perhaps in June for the roses.<br /><br />Hope the chest infection completely clears up soon - son and OH here still suffering and now daughter has gone down with it. I keep shovelling manuka honey down myself - probably makes no difference but so far have managed to escape the virus.<br /><br />Good Luck for when the house viewing is re-arranged.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-32590221275052625082016-05-03T02:28:31.699-07:002016-05-03T02:28:31.699-07:00What an interesting collection.

Most of my reading time lately has gone into the current genealogy project--when I can get online.<br />Your 'Meadowland' book sounds appealing in the reviews I found on goodreads--so I've ordered a used copy from alibris. <br />Reviews were very mixed--mostly not enthusiastic--on the Xandra Bingly memoir so I passed on that one. <br />I suspect if the one on Charlotte Bronte was put on my desk I would read it, but dear me, that family, gifted though they must have been, were dreadfully depressing. I daresay today we'd diagnosis the lot as bi-polar!
