It definitely was not a children's show.<br /><br />Briony: It does make me happy to see these snowdrops, even though they're always so ridiculously early.<br /><br />Lilycedar: Funny! Yeah, a few people live up that way, LOL!<br /><br />Edna: Amazon here in the UK has some Harry Barker collars but they're not the style I wanted. Maybe Amazon in the states has more of a selection.<br /><br />Robin: I agree. They're always so cheerful, those snowdrops.<br /><br />Ms Moon: I fully expect it to last a while. They're very good collars.<br /><br />Red: She's really funny!<br /><br />Ellen: Olga has never been a chewer. That's one thing we haven't had to deal with, fortunately.<br /><br />Sharon: I would definitely do a panto again!<br /><br />Linda Sue: Rocky Horror seems completely harmless now, and it was so transgressive when it first came out.<br /><br />Catalyst: Racing stripes! And THANK YOU for sorting out the car question! I've never heard of an AC before but yeah, it looks like either an Ace or a Cobra. (I don't readily see the difference.)<br /><br />Sabine: Ha! Must have been fun to have that as part of your family tradition.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Yeah, some of them are red and some are yellow. When they're planted together it's an especially nice effect!<br /><br />Jennede: SO GLAD you took on the same book and enjoyed it! Sorry to hear the Coleridge isn't as good, since I have that one too. But I guess that's why Tina was the top editor.<br /><br />E: Definitely better than her previous one, which was getting quite tattered.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-82940243084451248732020-01-13T06:40:00.305+00:002020-01-13T06:40:00.305+00:00Love the photo.

Just love it, her writing style is so insightful and entertaining.

Ace, predating the A.C. Cobra. Frankly, I don't think I ever heard of an A.C. Ace before but I searched for it on the Mighty Google and it appears he is correct.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-83062852474336917642020-01-12T21:41:25.399+00:002020-01-12T21:41:25.399+00:00Ah, that explains the exorbitant price on the coll...Ah, that explains the exorbitant price on the collar! It does look good and sturdy and the fact you got so many years out of the previous one bodes well for this one too.<br /><br />Our dogwood is all red.

The collar, dang! well, it is on and it is doing it's job and i suppose Olga is grateful, though she may prefer to be naked. Rocky Horror is the best!

Do you have an Amazon there, and if so is it free shipping for you? I love those snowdrops. They look like Spring can't be far behind. Your dogwood is so different from ours, yet it is beautiful.

As you suggest, it is a happy feature of wintertime in Britain. Many people who attend pantos would never think of visiting theatres at any other time. Any pantomime plot is just a basic structure around which new scripts are developed - usually with topical references. These are the most commonly performed pantomimes: "Cinderella", "Puss In Boots", "Aladdin", "Dick Whittington", "Mother Goose", "Babes in the Wood", "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". <br /><br />P.S. Olga's new collar looks great.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
