As well as being frequented by great literary talents – including Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, John Galsworthy and H G Wells – Rules has also appeared in novels by Rosamond Lehmann, Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, John Le Carré, Dick Francis, Penelope Lively and Claire Rayner." <BR/><BR/>And me.

One must make a judgment.<BR/><BR/>And all the famous authors over there apparently did most of their work in pubs, so this was practically a business trip. <BR/>AliciaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-75960519551637007502008-05-28T20:06:00.000-05:002008-05-28T20:06:00.000-05:00I'm killer-jealous, too, Ian!I've wanted to go to ...I'm killer-jealous, too, Ian!<BR/><BR/>I've wanted to go to the British Isles forever! The closest I got was back in 2001. On the way back from Venice, Italy, we sat in Heathrow Airport for two hours.<BR/><BR/>Ugh. That didn't cut the mustard at all – But a pub crawl would surely do the trick. Sigh. I can dream, can’t I?<BR/><BR/>So glad you are back safe and sound and with nary a scratch on your hired Benz.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>G.Genella deGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129942813842907408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-9116765994882442022008-05-28T13:00:00.000-05:002008-05-28T13:00:00.000-05:00Welcome back Alicia!!

I really do want to go back again someday - if nothing else to visit Blackpool where James White (one of my favorite authors ever) was from. Hey look, I ended a sentence in a preposition! Good thing you're back to start schooling us again...I've gotten lazy in the interim. ;)<BR/><BR/>IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497045412007902460noreply@blogger.com
