Though this was good because I remember them all so well from Eisenhower to Obama.

I have not read much of Mitford and I really should pull out those Penguin copies. I started in the motorbike world on a small 125cc scooter and worked my way up to my bigger 350cc one I have now. Think I'll not buy a bigger one. This one does the job.Travellin' Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286703342642772792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-13350754398168003872016-01-10T12:07:45.461+11:002016-01-10T12:07:45.461+11:00Thank you Joan.

I would want to see Suffragette as well, both for the theme and for all the lovely actresses participating. Nancy Mitford is also a favourite of mine. I will try to look for Madame Pompadour. <br />One of my favourite biographers is Mary S Lovell and she has written 'The Mitford Girls', 'A Scandalous Life' about Lady Jane Digby and 'A Rage to Live' about Sir Richard Burton (the explorer). They are all absolutely fantastic and absorbing!<br /> <br />I must say I admire you. I think I would never dare enter a motor bike, not even sitting behind! Sounds like a fun group though.Lisbeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/00466904375353041610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-11970819966010539472016-01-10T02:00:56.012+11:002016-01-10T02:00:56.012+11:00That sounds like a fun week, so much variety.That sounds like a fun week, so much variety.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-66423861220945034122016-01-09T23:12:00.748+11:002016-01-09T23:12:00.748+11:00I am glad I didn't visit the Salamanca Markets...I am glad I didn't visit the Salamanca Markets with those extra 1000 people - it seemed totally packed the time I went there last year, so I have no idea where they'd cram them all.
