Thank you for making me smile Maalie, I should certainly like my garden to be fertile. ;-) I must admit I can’t wait to get stuck into Ted Hughes’ letters.

Well, I've got, from Amazon, "Beloved Emma" [re Lady Hamilton], "La Cucina del Sole" [re Southern Ital cookery] and am waiting for "The Battle of the Villa Fiorita" because I love the film but have never read the book. I reread "A Christmas Carol" every year and, when my Sicilian students claim they don't know the word "carol" I have only to mention "Scrooge" and it clicks! Happy reading, Ellee. Hi, Ellee.

Chris Hitchens: Letters to a young contrarian, and Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man": A Biography. (though reviews are better for Love Poverty and War which I haven't got around to reading) Everyone should read Thomas Paine and consider the French revolution and Rousseau if they are interested in politics and democracy I think. I'm also getting Boris Johnson's 'Rome' as again all interested in history, democracy and Christianity should aquaint themselves with the Roman empire (my #1 person I'd like to have lunch with is now Mary Beard). And I'm also getting <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752226436" rel="nofollow">some fun things</a> too. I haven't been able to find a book of Wendy Cope's poems in my local shop so I've given up as it's cheaper on Amazon and I've bought the children a dictionary and thesaurus each. Boris has a new book of poems out about family life, it's apparently quite funny, see <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perils-Pushy-Parents-Cautionary-Tale/dp/0007263392/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198176091&sr=1-4" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I'm queing up to read 'Wide Sargasso Sea' by Jean Rhys in the new year but may leave it til the summer. Peter is indeed very handsome! Sounds like a good book Ellee, thanks :-) Did you ever read 'The Island' by Victoria Hislop? Fave titles?
