When I was doing my MA in publishing the founder came to talk to us and I was fascinated by the whole concept, not to mention the beautiful inside covers. I'm reading their edition of Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day right now. <br /><br />I love your blog - you've got a really lovely aesthetic. And re: your comment on my blog about Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache, you should dive in! It's not *quite* as weird as it initially seems...Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918198263654792477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-71453538354944789482008-06-14T17:12:00.000+01:002008-06-14T17:12:00.000+01:00Hello Kristina, I've just discovered your blog via...Hello Kristina, I've just discovered your blog via another one, nice to "meet" you. I'm keen to read some of the Persephone books, and have recently finished The Saplings by Noel Streatfield which I would recommend. Fortnight in September is on my wish list, it sounds a delightful book. I think if I have a trip to London I might avoid the Persephone shop as I may need to buy every title!<BR/>I hope we hear more about your allotment adventures as some frineds and I are keen to start one. The waiting list for allotments in my town has 70 people on it and the receptionist at the Town Hall almost snorted when we enquired about allotments! But we've struck lucky this week, I work in a school which still has the remains of a walled garden and the Head groundsman has offered us a huge area to use...we're so excited I can't tell you! We know there's some back-breaking work ahead but the thought of growing our own maybe from next year is a great incentive. I'll pop back very soon. <BR/>GillGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622219985656850271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-20961172717178604572008-05-29T23:52:00.000+01:002008-05-29T23:52:00.000+01:00Don't you just love those white geraniums - it mak...Don't you just love those white geraniums - it makes me want to rush out and throw away my window box of candy pink flowers because they look slightly vulgar.alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539962894980102675.post-34494490215759399452008-05-29T23:05:00.000+01:002008-05-29T23:05:00.000+01:00That grey frontage is so distictive isn't it.

I'm just finishing 'Someone at a Distance' - I'm at that funny stage when you begin reading slowly because you don't want the book to finish.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723377593068712400noreply@blogger.com
