In my marginally challenged...Dearest Miss Whistle,<br /><br />In my marginally challenged universe of blogging, this missive that I responded to privately some weeks back seems to be coming around again as in "incoming" links or some such thing. So let me take a moment to herald your esteemed honor and devoted service (both recognized and ignored) in this overwhelming galaxy we inhabit, the digital one. It is a trying ordeal at times, and oh so lonely that you find yourself questioning the sanity of your actions - repeatedly. <br /><br />I am always gratified by your mentions and never, ever tire of hearing them. You are not only spirited, talented and inspirational, but impossibly kind. I was commenting, just yesterday, on a piece I read recently lamenting the loss of the virtue of self-effacement. I can honestly and genuinely say, that despite my somewhat limited knowledge of you, you are the antithesis of that notion. You are, in fact, as lovely as the sound, your blog evokes.Errant Aesthetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618929624889945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371572.post-77741928223074986592010-07-14T11:33:03.477-07:002010-07-14T11:33:03.477-07:00Oh Miss W - what a lovely post, especially that la...Oh Miss W - what a lovely post, especially that last paragraph. The quite strange thing is that I used to live in the Meadow buildings, in my first year at university. You and the divine M were not meeting in the meadows in 1985 were you? I could have waved.<br /><br />xxxTania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371572.post-47871866379950838622010-07-13T21:00:24.852-07:002010-07-13T21:00:24.852-07:00Oh Miss W,

It was wonderful knowing you in your other life, and beautiful knowing you in this new life of yours!<br /><br />Congratulations,<br />XO<br />Miss A.Allison Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220013453173853782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371572.post-19947594529723573272010-07-13T17:33:21.452-07:002010-07-13T17:33:21.452-07:00What a lovely post and how honored I am to have ma...What a lovely post and how honored I am to have made it onto your very selective list! I was just reading your friend's blog 43rd Year (it's wonderful) and Errant Aesthete is a favorite of mine as well. <br /><br />I too am a tree person -- chestnut trees, to be precise -- growing up in England, I was always on the hunt for a good glossy conker (still am, actually) :) And I grew up on your hard-boiled egg and tomato sandwiches...my father still makes them for me when I visit him, sometimes with a slice of pickled herring on top as well -- must be a Norwegian thing. <br /><br />Congratulations on your blog award -- it is richly deserved. There is a magic to your entries that never fails to lift and inspire.<br /><br />xx<br /><br />Re: our plan... Next week I'm off to Kauai -- perhaps when I get back?Lisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371572.post-45559907057874391422010-07-13T08:59:24.354-07:002010-07-13T08:59:24.354-07:00Billy Stockings!

I hope you blog forever and I also hope you visit - down a hill and along a pond, there's a perfect weeping willow with your name on it.Marilynhttp://simmertilldone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371572.post-9241459538338542212010-07-13T08:18:03.374-07:002010-07-13T08:18:03.374-07:00This is fantastique—and I love you for leaving us ...This is fantastique—and I love you for leaving us with mental image of you and your 14-year-old boyfriend literally knotted together in passionate embrace, with Sophie's mother shearing you apart.
