I still enjoyed it but I found the first two thirds very 'bitty' with short unconnected snatches of dialogue, many of which stood out to me as historical 'lectures' and did nothing to advance the plot. That said, the cow episode worked well, for me, and the young lad's 'adoption' by the estate manager. But I thought it only really picked up when the railway was introduced. The dramatic ending got it well back 'on track' though.<BR/>There was an interesting use of the words 'make shift', however (a bit like your 'wild fire'), and isn't 'scabious' a most unpleasant name for a pretty flower? It always sounds to me like a dermatological affliction such as 'scurvy' (should be) or 'eczema' or 'ringworm'.<BR/><BR/>I do not think I have had a turkey dinner for at least five years. The whole Bernard Matthews intensive rearing business puts me off ordering it (or chicken) when out for a meal and I think there are so many more interesting things to have at home (and unless there is a big family dinner it lasts far too long). If goose was not such a price for so little meat, I would go for it every year, I think. Perhaps squirrel? That said, it might be pineapple chunks for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
