My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.

Ahh, my childhoods hero 🙂
I remember The Famous Five rather than Pooh but still nice stories and simple illustrations
The Norwegian translation was read to me when I was a small kid and I read it to my own daughters. As you say a nice story, and a lot better illustration than the commercialized crap Disney turned it into.
Love winnie.
