I have been in bed for much of the last couple of days, flu? dreaded lurgy? So awake coughing at night I have lifted my spirits by re-reading BN's books about his house and garden "Merry Hall". Well by coincidence it is up for sale so all I need is a cool £2,950,000 :-)

It does not have the acreage it used to sadly, but it seems to have been a happy home to him, and some of the interior features are still there, though I suspect some decor that would not have been to his taste.

Sorry to hear you are poorly Rose.

Beverly Nichols book sounds interesting. I can see a google search coming on ;-)

Get well soon <3

Thankyou Von, I am up and dressed which is an improvement anyway. :-)

Here is the Rightmove link to the house, the exterior is very recogniseable from the illustrations in the book. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/127922015#/?channel=RES_BUY

Well check out Hamm & Bublé! That'll cheer you up. :-)

Had a look at the house. I love floor plans. Especially working out how a place like that could be turned into a half dozen quite luxurious flats!

Hope you are feeling better today Rose.

I can't remember reading any of BN's books and was surprised to learn that he wrote more than 60. I think I ought to have a go at one of his books. I do remember him having a column in one of the magazines - it might have been Woman's Own.

I love the house.

As a child I read all the time and liked most books. I was given one of Beverly Nichols' books but all I can remember is that it was called "The Tree That Sat Down" and I didn't enjoy it. It must have made some sort of impression because I can still visualise the cover!

Sorry to hear that you are poorly Rose. Hope you are back to normal soon. I too don't recall ever reading any of BN's books.

Thankyou all, sorry my brain is still fuzzy, so am not here much and my typing is all over the shop lol.
