In the High Street an Austen 7 drives past. It is rather older than me but in better shape. My Mother once had such a car a photograph tells me. As it chugs by this one looks very much at home. Old things which persist should be valued if only for their persistence
A blue zipped fishing jacket goes for repair. It has lots of pockets. What shall I do without it? It seems to me that the chief purpose of clothes is to incorporate pockets.

What an amazing colour! The Austin 7 was a remarkable car, as was the Morris Minor. I wonder whether the little "Smart Cars" have to some extent followed in their ..... tyre tracks.
The Austen 7 was a special model only sold to those who could successfully answer ten questions that proved they'd read Persuasion. I'm not at all surprised that the remaining example has found a home in TW.
Lucas A new variety of nasturtium I think. This one escaped from the seed tray and is now flourishing among the runner beans.
Robbie Point taken. I must have been thinking about Jane because I do (or thought I did) know the difference.
