Were we commenting on a post? I had forgotten that bit. Must be the dottiness combined with the gin. Cid, maybe Elsie can do double duty as the leg double, or maybe the older brother? Maybe, like Alice, we have all gone down the rabbit hole. Oh yes, in the Lake Country, Beatrix, Peter Rabbit. I once had a very nice ferry ride on Lake Windemere. The van safari of the surrounding district was also quite nice. Are we back on track now? Elsie, post? Were we commenting on a post? I had forgotten that bit.

As for the gin, well that'll be on tap so no worries there either. Thought I'd have a go at playing the 25 yr old leggy blonde Miles (Matt) meets on the train.... as yet only the one line.... 'tickets please'! For this I'll need a good deal of help, like a mass of makeup and a leg double :) Cid Annie,

A flouncy hat, slightly misshapen would be a nice touch also.

Perhaps his boyish qualities will win me over in the end but I think I ought to tell him outright that I'm no good at conkers :) Good luck with George... I hear Miles is insisting on having oxygen on the set, presumably for our benefit :) Cid Elsie,

Hm, George & Mildred spring to mind but then, no, that wouldn't do at all. Annie, you could be looking around the mountains with your binocs. Miles, you being the author, will have to ensure correct acting parts. On with the story please, Maestro ~ ~ ~ Elsie Cid,

There was a character in one of the newer "Marple" series who sat with binoculars to watch the things going on around her. I could model my character after her.

George (now understudy) will recognize my potential hidden beneath the overalls and sweep me off my feet... for this I'd be prepared to waive my £5 fee :) Cid Miles,
