I loved the story of the fish & Laurance Rockefeller – good on you for being so polite, but how funny!<br />I’m thankful because the sun is shining today, I hate being cold. The most famous person I’ve met was Rebecca West, but I was just a little girl, so I don’t remember if she shook my hand – probably not. My mum was her housekeeper when she lived at Ibstone House in Buckinghamshire. Like you, I’ve had lots of jobs, but I enjoyed the last one best (selling books). <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-55273216019958747432015-09-07T09:44:33.697-05:002015-09-07T09:44:33.697-05:00I love lizards!
