from 200 years ago.

  1. Dear Wendy-dog, please send Hannah a very big congratulations and tell Velma that I like natural history books as well... but she probably already, kinda knew that.

  2. valerie, hannah is not at home but i'll tell her when she gets here. her mum spends WAY too much time reading those things, instead of taking me for endless walks, i get a measly three miles a day.

  6. valerie, three miles is ok now that i'm 12, but i used to be so bored...

    lf, isn't that book something, so lush and over the top, but fine. velma tells me she used to read and re-read it.
