When I was in my third year at Somerville I lived out in a shared house. The top floor flat was the domain of Mrs Maxwell who was doing a degree at St Hughes at the time. One of her daughters, but not Ghislaine, lived there.Shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785187902651797202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5157535704501849482019-11-18T00:01:56.033+00:002019-11-18T00:01:56.033+00:00We are anxiously awaiting The Crown tonight here i...We are anxiously awaiting The Crown tonight here in the US - with the new actor for the Queen.

I have four brothers, and when I was sewing frantically as a teenager, trying to finishing something at the last minute my mother would always say I was like the girl in the Wild Swans. I am looking forward to seeing Olivia Colman in the Queen’s part. I saw recently a reviewer didn’t think Colman would be good because she had “a left wing face’ what ever that might mean!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-81671776746803923932019-11-17T20:57:15.378+00:002019-11-17T20:57:15.378+00:00Ah, and I went to Balliol in 1980, not the first y...Ah, and I went to Balliol in 1980, not the first year of women but the second.<br /><br />Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest is based on the story of the six swans.
