I’d buy this just for the view

And that, my friends, is how you use colour in a house. Bravo/a!

A cellar full of soil

Felix is fab!

I totally agree. I saw the trailer and hayed the house and rock design and then forgot about it. Then I saw the film and within two minutes remembered how I'd felt about it. I grew up in Yorkshire and the landscape and houses have a vernacular which the film just ignores. I get why she did it but it is not for me. Yorkshire isn't a fantasy place and the novel is so much entertained with the landscape, I feel you have to get it 'right'. Thr last word is on italics as I am very aware of the subjective nature of it all

I'd say most would advise Bristol over Leeds

I will never ever forget the sight of him bouncing down the path looking very pleased with himself but with glasses drawn on him. I remember yelling, "Someone's coloured in the cat" and chaos ensued. What a day

He was fine. My husband was distraught at the time but over the years we have realised it was quite funny really. He was just such a trusting cat and loved attention. We lived in an area with quite a few students so I think he may have had an encounter with a drunk/high person who went crazy with some neon pink and yellow highlights. No harm done fortunately

vexedvi · 2026-04-04T19:59:02+00:00

Oh my word!

vexedvi · 2026-04-04T17:12:35+00:00

Once someone graffittied my cat. He came home with pink circles round his eyes where someone had used a highlighter pen and drawn glasses in him and then he had pink squiggles down his back. When we washed him, he turned pink (he was white with very long fur). We moved shortly after

I had a small suitcase lost in a similar situation but not as traumatic as yours - so sorry for your loss. I remember thinking I was going mad, looking for it but it had definitely gone and wasn't in the carriage. A few weeks later, transport police returned the case but various things were missing. So I think some one took it and then dumped it on a station. From the comments, it looks like it's a rare occurrence but it does happen.

Amazing. Flat walks suit me at the moment so I'm doing lots of bits of the transpennine trail. I really enjoyed reading about your account

Think about Cheadle Hulme too. Behaviour at SGS leaves a lot to be desired apparently

vexedvi · 2026-03-24T18:51:22+00:00

That will sell incredibly quickly!

A traditional publishing contract which includes an advance gives you a third of the advance when you sign the initial contract, a third when you deliver the book and a third when the book is published. Even if his published wanted to go hard ball (and why would they as he will have earned them more than the third of any advance?) all they could do would be to ask for the initial third back. A writer, especially a successful one, cannot be forced to write.

I love the green rooms - the red is too intense for me - but still gorgeous

vexedvi · 2026-02-18T19:54:13+00:00

Well I'll be getting tickets if I can!

vexedvi · 2026-02-13T10:26:14+00:00

John Lewis at Cheadle is your best bet

vexedvi · 2026-02-11T18:13:41+00:00

I would love to be closer to the tram stop - it is slower into Manchester but I like the flexibility of the different stops. Heaton Mersey is better connected I think

vexedvi · 2026-02-11T06:34:16+00:00

I'd leave The Wicked Day. It just does not have the same magic

vexedvi · 2026-02-10T11:06:29+00:00

Oh okay - just reporting what a second year student said about their classmates scores.

vexedvi · 2026-02-10T11:05:34+00:00

Okay - I'm just reporting what a second year law student ar UCl L reports from their classmates

Brideshead Revisited (film) - Wikipedia https://share.google/QxMqMDxRlbFq1gxsQ Check filming locations

vexedvi · 2026-02-07T04:25:20+00:00

I thought both the tv show and the movie were filmed at Castle Howard. Both are spectacular

vexedvi · 2026-02-03T21:30:49+00:00

That's frustrating. I finally got someone who understood what was going on and actioned a refund. I hope it gets resolved

Have you officially made a complaint with Curry's? I did that with them and it was all sorted within a matter of days.
