Some I enjoy, many I'm not so keen on. Almost too vivid in a way.<br /><br />Yes, "Making a Fire" is in this collection - I'll post it some time for all we wood burners!A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-38209697525505508282012-11-27T20:13:40.912+00:002012-11-27T20:13:40.912+00:00Walter de la Mare - persist with his poems and sho...Walter de la Mare - persist with his poems and short stories. I think he is worth it. Roger Scruton was right in considering de la Mare the last faint eco of romanticism.<br /><br />You probably have "The Fleeting" in there, as that was 1933. Check out "Making a Fire" to increase your pleasure as a reflective burner of wood!Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-52625074560731505932012-11-27T17:39:11.065+00:002012-11-27T17:39:11.065+00:00Scrobs - I've tried Old Hooky and it is rather...Scrobs - I've tried Old Hooky and it is rather good. <br /><br />Witterings - thanks - good idea. We have to get back soon, but plan to return because we like the area and it's an easy journey for us.<br /><br />James - maybe so - unless he's already set in stone ideas-wise, which may be the case.<br /><br />Demetrius - thanks - I'll put both on my to visit list. Although we've been here before, we don't know the area all that well and are still exploring.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-26968533470961922322012-11-27T17:19:02.249+00:002012-11-27T17:19:02.249+00:00Cirencester?
