I no longer want to hang on to them because I never seem open them again. <br /><br />M-L Try Kleenex.<br /><br />BB I admit to a book in which I write down bits and pieces which I want to preserve. I've had one for years, but I don't think I have referred to it as cpb. I got the idea of a scrapbook quite recently because there are so many images I come across everyday in magazines, newspapers etc that I want to keep and which I would otherwise have to discard. The randomness is partly the result of chance and partly deliberate because of the often surprising and sometimes pleasing effect of unplanned and unpredictable juxtapositions. I'm glad that you are enjoying the RHD Lyttleton correspondence, and overcoming a quite natural repugnance towards their apparent snobbery.<br /><br />Thanks Martha.

HWL doesn't have a scrapbook, rather a commonplace book. There's an inverted snobbery about that name that boils my brains. I shall know something significant has happened in TW if you suddenly start referring to your scrapbook this way.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-24624621831896104472011-01-07T22:39:03.876+00:002011-01-07T22:39:03.876+00:00Love the fish!

Stretching back into school days I remember a geography lesson unstructured enough to allow free perusal of this amazing feast for the eyes.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642126053527835870noreply@blogger.com
