Tak děcka! Kančendženga nám dnes odolala. Zabalily jsme to ve druhém výškovém táboře. A i tak mě to stálo a ještě bude stát spoustu jídla, pokroutek a horké čokolády s marshmelounama. Někdy zkrátka není správný den na zdolávání vrcholů.

@arthurransome This just popped up so had to share!
This is a West of England tumbler, he is ash red bar with the "sooty" modifier and pied markings associated with the breed. He was a stray, hanging around an industrial unit a couple of years back, I rescued him and he lives here now. #pigeonsky

Just saw a guy whose t shirt proclaimed him "The Duffer of St George's"...Managed with difficulty to resist saying "Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers, won't drown"

"We didn't mean to go to sea" is the most maritime, in that series. As is "Peter Duck". They are children's literature though (Good CL! - "Pigeon Post" won the first Carnegie)

Dobré odpoledne, nebe 💙
Jak jsem už referovala, výstup na vrchol kopce zvaného Kančendženga hrdiny z Ransomovek se dnes kvůli nepřízni počasí nezdařil. Ale zato jsme viděly spoustu starých měděných dolů, o nichž se psalo v Holubí poště. Byl to hezký výlet. 1/2 ⤵️

So thrilled by Tom Dudgeon and his brave unmooring of the Hullaballoos’ rented boat (in the Coot Club by Arthur Ransome)! How dare they block the coots from their nest! Long live the Bird Protection Society!

New read: the weather has turned (hooray!) and I was in the mood for a gentle return to non-holiday normal life. This very much fit the bill.

If someone is interviewed with a bookcase behind 'em, I spend all my time checking out the books.
My own shelves? I suppose I'm a bit, umm, "predictable"?
(Other shelves exist, with all my other favourite authors on, of course. And at least a few of those authors are still alive.)

Welcome home, Timothy! I've just finished re-reading #ArthurRansome 's Pigeon Post (again!). Still can't decide if it's my favourite Swallows and Amazons book or not. Reading as a child, I was always expecting Squashy Hat to be some super villain!
