Dear Bernard,
I hope this finds you in good fettle. Just wanted to thank you for reminding me of the English countryside! Sounds like a weird thanks, but (as an expatriate living in the Gulf for the last 30 years), the one thing I really miss is a fresh wind that brings a stringing rain to the face. Ahhhh…I miss it so. And I most often get to experience / remember it thru your superb writings. Yes, it always seems to be drizzling in your books…and thank the Gods for that :)
Thank you so much.
