Bring back Elocution lessons, since it became Speech and Drama, there's just too much emphasis on the Drama and not enough on the speech!scrumptious dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419573938670000694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-11138722652945128502012-06-06T12:51:27.352+01:002012-06-06T12:51:27.352+01:00I'm slightly mad at myself that I didn't b...I'm slightly mad at myself that I didn't brave the crowds to see the boats, Darlene.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-79803158666750353742012-06-06T12:24:40.435+01:002012-06-06T12:24:40.435+01:00I like that bit of poetry too, Mary.

My favourites either make you weepy or make you smile and I have come across a fair bit that do neither. <br /><br />There wasn't much reading done in my house over the weekend with so much Jubilee coverage. And definitely lots of tea drinking going on...in a Queen mug, of course!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-70065537211727629702012-06-05T21:46:06.023+01:002012-06-05T21:46:06.023+01:00Someone like Fiona Shaw, brilliant.
