Another jolly tale...I promise this was not inspired by the recent storm, although it might have been apt!

DISCLAIMER: Not mine, all owned by the esteemed Mr Forester and his estate and I mean them no diservice. Just messing with them for my own amusement..sorry.

Book canon set no ( Read more... )

Bush never learnt to swim; that was the immediacy of his existence. A life bound within a few square feet of English Oak

Game. Set. Match.

Man. Another great fic offering. It really personifies the difference between the two of them.

What a lovely and fitting analogy!

Two men, so different: both right, both wrong. But together, and better for it.

Beautifully written--thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks to you all and glad you enjoyed it. I was a little unsure but it did strike me that it was a thing that set them apart and that it did reflect there different attitudes...yes they are both wrong aren't they, lets hope that we are all somewhere in the middle. Strangely enough I started swimming again in the afternoons after writing this...oh the powers of suggestion :)
