That's a very pretty photo!

Thank you! Brr, it was a cold one this morning.

[dorianegray]

Cold here too. But not nearly as photogenic!

Lovely photo, B. It was pretty much the same here and some of the frost remained all day. It's dreary this morning with rain falling on ice. I won't be taking the car anywhere today!

Fog and frost here today, so no going out for me, either. At least it's not raining (yet).

Thursdays in the Park

If you like Thursdays in the Park then you will also like Bilary Boyd's 2nd novel, Tangled Lives, which I've just enjoyed!
In a way, these stories of older people remind me of the new TV drama, Last Tango in Halifax, which is great. Not totally believable, but fun and it focuses on two 70-somethings who meet up again after 60 years (and marriage to other people.) More of this kind of thing on TV and in books please!

Loving Last Tango in Halifax. I'm more interested in the older couple than in their children's problems. I want it to work for them!

Seconded about LTiH: I adore the way the romance is being treated e.g. the use of lighting around Celia.

Another episode this evening! Nice to have something on TV to look forward to.

Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody is a wonderful creation. I'm glad you found and enjoyed her stories.

[callmemadam]

I was surprised to find the first book was published in the seventies because I'd never heard of Peabody. The Kindle is helping me find new to me authors, including some nineteenth century ones.

According to my paperback, Crocodile didn't get published in the UK until 1999, which might explain it. I have read somewhere that the book(s) influenced Indiana Jones a little.

Interesting, thanks!
