Heaven as ever. Another question for you - which one do you most identify with?

Thank you! None of them. I am fascinated by them anthropologically but they are SO far removed from anything I know that identifying is too strong. I love Nancy, obviously, but nothing about her life apart from her talent is enviable to me.

Loved the piece India! And I'm loving Outrageous, too! It's reignited my Mitford fascination!

This is wonderful. Thank you, you are terribly clever to have 'got' them so right.

Whenever I need cheering up, I re-read Uncle Matthew's list of things he dislikes in Darling, and it always does the trick, it's heaven.

I had a wonderful friend, sadly departed, who, like me, absolutely adored Nancy Mitford's novels. He always used to greet me by saying 'Heavenly tweed, Fanny'; it never failed to make us laugh like drains!

Extremely kind, thank you so much. Am hooting at Heavenly tweed, Fanny. Might have to adopt.

Splendid. Kept thinking of Pam all through lockdown and the run on toilet paper - she’d have cornered the market in that and washing powder etc. do admit!
