Like you I tend to read books in sequence :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-67382192668499478842017-05-07T18:32:05.380+01:002017-05-07T18:32:05.380+01:00I haven't read the first few Maisie Dobbs book...I haven't read the first few Maisie Dobbs books, I got a later one from the library and then read them in sequence from then on, each one seems to get better:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-43495384454992480222017-05-05T19:52:19.731+01:002017-05-05T19:52:19.731+01:00Deborah RusticPumpkin - Thank you - it was lovely ...Deborah RusticPumpkin - Thank you - it was lovely to see the blossom at the church. The meal was good specially the dessert :)<br /><br />Simon Douglas Thompson - Thanks Simon - yes the can be fairly tame. Usually see them at another mill near us but haven't visited there yet this year.<br /><br />Rosie - Thanks Rosie. Most churches round the Birmingham area and North Warwickshire seem to be closed - so sad although I understand the necessity. Yes, I think you are right about local cemeteries. I have wanted to go on a Guy's Cliffe tour for some years (not a ghost hunt though - too scary!) - I think it is the only way you can get to see the ruins. I will have a word with my son and see if he fancies going. Not really OH's cup of tea!! Thank you re: books - will check out the other Juliet Greenwood novels. I am also tempted to download the first Maisie Dobbs book!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-33379672793840742062017-05-05T19:01:44.616+01:002017-05-05T19:01:44.616+01:00What an interesting post.

I suppose by the time it was built most burials would have been in the local cemetaries. The Saxon Mill looks like a wonderful place to have a celebratory meal. No wonder it is so popular that parking is at a premium. Guy's Cliffe house sounds intriguing. So glad you are enjoying the Elly Griffiths and Ann Cleeves series of novels plus the Juliet Greenwood one, I think it is her third novel. 'Eden's Garden' and 'We that Serve' are both good too:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-76720987030452773532017-05-05T17:33:30.637+01:002017-05-05T17:33:30.637+01:00I haven't seen a grey wagail by the castle yet...I haven't seen a grey wagail by the castle yet this spring, such lovely birds and you can get quite close to themSimon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-8246297293215741592017-05-05T16:41:00.622+01:002017-05-05T16:41:00.622+01:00Few things are more lovely than Gothic style archi...Few things are more lovely than Gothic style architecture in an English country spring.

It was a lovely change to go somewhere new for a meal :) I always rely on interesting things to look at in churchyards if church shut but it was all a bit too manicured for my liking!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-71451777841714095262017-05-05T11:17:10.776+01:002017-05-05T11:17:10.776+01:00The Saxon Mill looks like a gorgeous place to eat,...The Saxon Mill looks like a gorgeous place to eat, great views!
