From Through the Kitchen Window by Susan Hill (1984)
illustrated by Angela Barrett,
a breezier approach,
(plus a small crinoline lady for Wend).
What he actually says is,
'Bother!'
'O blow!'
'Hang spring-cleaning!'
from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
So moved like Mole 'by the spirit of divine discontent and longing',
I have taken a break from cleaning too.
There are flowers to admire.
I enjoy your collection of vintage, illustrated books to complement the colours from the home.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy them, too ... it will be two more months here before the daffodils begin to bloom.
