... In some families it is traditional to name the eldest son after a grandfather, an uncle, or some relative who was deceased. In my mom's family, for...
... Oh, gosh, I wish you wouldn't call it that. The majority of Americans don't like these god-awful ugly buildings, either, which probably explains the glut...
Hi Folks! I havent visited this group for a while and have been catching up on posts and in particular the ones about Sawley Hall being for sale. I googled...
I have not been on here for a while and saw the discussion about Sawley hall and visits. I used to know a lady who lived very near and Sawley Hall was a no go...
Sorry I havent been on here in ages - had 2 children and life has been busy! But Im going to see KM Peyton today - she is appearing at the Wimbledon bookfest...
It was great – and she is a great character. She is 79 if I count right from her birthdate but seems very vital and so much younger! She had 2 of her school...
-Thankyou for sharing your experience with us! What great information. I haven't picked up a new Peyton novel for sometime, I think I'll look into that Roman...
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! So interesting to know that's how she felt about Mark; I always felt that way, too, so it must have come through for me...
I've got a 2nd hand copy in very good condition of Christine's book available to buy if anyone is interested. Rather than put it on Ebay I'd rather offer it...
I was skimming 'Flambards in Summer' the other week and noticed something rather odd. When Christina visits Violet, she sees Violet's daughters from her ...
Keen reading, Lily! How strange we none of us noticed (or mentioned) this before. I'd guess it was simply an error (anachronistic, as you say) on Peyton's...
It was common enough - one of the parties only needed to move to another parish to establish residency where neither party were known - but it wasn't legal. It...
Thanks for the warning about Flambards Divided. I wont be reading this one. I have just finished watching the series and I like it a lot. I am asking my best...
Well I must say I'm surprised to find so many individuals that seem to like Flambards as much as I do. Years ago, as a teenager, longer ago than I care to...
Dick being involved with another woman doesn't make sense to me either. After all he and Christina worked for together, it just doesn't fit the character at...
I am curious as to what period Flambards, or Sawley Hall, would have been built. Does anyone here know? I am also very curious as to what the house is like...
I wonder who owns it. I hope they aren't too rude to people who try to go visit. I guess that's what happens when your house is the site of the filming of a...
Dear "Drummer Womyn" and "Bibliocat", I was so happy to read your letters, both so well expressed! I feel the same way about the story. Though I liked the...
I am very interested in genealogy, so I was surfing the net one day and I asked myself what the origin of the name Flambard was and if it had any significance...
Flambards is a much nicer name than Sawley Hall, I think. ... From: bibliocat_21 <bibliocat_21@...> To: flambards@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October...
I don't think so. I think she described it early on as a "Victorian pile", and then offhandedly remarked on its sad condition of disrepair. ... From:...
It's possible that someone would have their first name be identical to their last name. I don't understand why parents would do that to their children, but to...
Yuck. Sounds like the house was almost worse in the books than it was in the movie! --Desiree ... a "Victorian pile", and then offhandedly remarked on its sad ...
