I'm so lucky to live so close, even if I can't actually live there. No! I didn't know you stayed in Lamorna Cove. One of my all-time favourite places. I have a print of a painting called 'Tiddlers' by Samuel 'Lamorna' Birch on the wall and love it to bits.<br /><br />I would recommend The Victorians in dvd form but I happen to know it's not available in The States. You can see it on YouTube though.<br /><br />Thanks for your b/day wishes.<br /><br />Judith: Thanks for visiting my blog! <br /><br />I know The Hunger Games is extremely popular so look forward to that. It'll be interesting to see how I like the Dawn French. I gather from interviews that she's fallen completely in love with writing.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-24661331596203271882012-05-16T09:20:21.830+01:002012-05-16T09:20:21.830+01:00Popping over from Scene of the Blog!
Happy belate...Popping over from Scene of the Blog!<br /><br />Happy belated birthday - you did well with books. I loved The Hunger Games but Dawn French' book was a just-OK book for me, although she is also one of my favorite comedians. Hope you'll like it better (it was probably just me).Judith / Leeswammeshttp://leeswammes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-45019165428980421462012-05-14T18:57:23.647+01:002012-05-14T18:57:23.647+01:00I wouldn't mind going to Cornwall on my birthd...I wouldn't mind going to Cornwall on my birthday or any old day. :<) We actually went there the year we got married and stayed in Lamorna Cove. (did I already tell you that?)<br />I'm interested in The Victorians and Up With The Larks.<br />A belated happy birthday to you!!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-18817335409408481652012-05-13T12:01:53.678+01:002012-05-13T12:01:53.678+01:00Kelly: Thank you!
Pat: I've never been intere...Kelly: Thank you!<br /><br />Pat: I've never been interested in the TV series as I'm no fan of Sean Bean. LOL!<br /><br />For me, Cornwall is all about the coast but the countryside is nice too. There're moors, wooded valleys and so on. A few towns, one small city - Truro - the smallest city in England I think, and loads and loads of beautiful little fishing villages.<br /><br />Kay: More photos to come once the decorating is finished.<br /><br />Jo: Thank you!<br /><br />Glad to hear those two books are good, always nice to know. Did I tell you how much I loved Living Dangerously? I'm reading another of hers at the moment, Love Letters, and will do a two book post when I've finished it.<br /><br />Margaret: Thank you!<br /><br />I just couldn't resist Scribble, Scribble, Scribble and I'm not sure why. In the mood for essays I think. I've also just ordered The Devil's Chaplain by Richard Dawkins.<br /><br />Yvonne: we had two nice days in Cornwall and one wet. It didn't matter as we arranged our activities accordingly - on the wet day we visited Truro museum.<br /><br />Yes, I'm always drawn to the coast too, a result of growing up in Penzance I suspect. I always thought we would retire to the coast but it hasn't happened. Still, retiring to the Devon countryside is hardly a hardship. LOL!<br /><br />You know we used to live in Minehead, don't you? Lovely area but just a tad too cut off for our needs.<br /><br />Penny: Thank you. Yes, it was rather a magical birthday this year.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-91756406344576578602012-05-13T02:37:53.631+01:002012-05-13T02:37:53.631+01:00That's my kind of birthday, Cath; the presents...That's my kind of birthday, Cath; the presents and the scenery.

Such beautiful weather all day, can't believe it is the same country as this time last week!<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-53024617448605595462012-05-12T06:55:57.359+01:002012-05-12T06:55:57.359+01:00Belated Birthday wishes, Cath!
